Sorry I haven't had time to get around to the argparse issues. I should have time this weekend. I need a release manager call on one of the issues though. Two things I assume are fine to fix at this stage:

* In the documentation, the '--version' example should either not use a shorthand, or should use the conventional '-V' * In the documentation, the difference between the argparse and optparse ways of specifying versions needs to be mentioned in the section on migrating from optparse.

Documentation changes are always okay.

Can this be considered a bug, i.e. something that can be committed before the RC? Or does it need to be considered a feature, i.e. at this point can never be added to Python 2.7?

That sounds fine to me.

Thanks, and sorry again for not having time for this until now,

-- Regards, Benjamin
