I generally enjoy argparse, but one thing I find rather ugly and unpythonic.

parser.addargument ('--plot', action='storetrue')

I would argue that a string is actually more Pythonic than integers or anonymous objects repurposed as magic constants. (I'm looking at things such as SEEK_SET and friends)
