Jeff Knupp added the comment: This is not a bug.
The 'PARSER' nargs choice is an implementation detail as a way to handle subparsers. The parser needs to know that the first value should be handled, but everything that follows will be handled by the subparser. By using a subparser, you're effectively using 'PARSER', but it wouldn't make sense to allow 'PARSER' to be set directly as it only makes sense when used in conjunction with a subparser. ---------- nosy: +jeffknupp _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16988> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
