New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jar...@jaraco.com>:

In http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html#action, when describing an 
arbitrary action, the documentation states, "You can also specify an arbitrary 
action by passing an object that implements the Action API." This statement 
does not link to any documentation on the Action API and does not describe the 
API except to give an example.

Furthermore, the example contradicts the description. The description says 
"pass an object" but the example passes a class.

The documentation should clarify the text relating to the example and should 
document the expected interface for a custom action.
