Anthony Sottile <[email protected]> added the comment:
The bug is orthogonal, you can trigger it without the `required=` keyword
argument via the (currently suggested) monkeypatch workaround which restores
the pre-3.3 behaviour:
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
subp = parser.add_subparsers()
subp.add_parser('test')
subp.required = True
parser.parse_args()
$ python3 test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 7, in <module>
parser.parse_args()

"/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.6.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/argparse.py",
line 1730, in parse_args

', '.join(required_actions))
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, NoneType found
Also note that when `dest` is specified it works fine:
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
subp = parser.add_subparsers(dest='cmd')
subp.add_parser('test')
subp.required = True
parser.parse_args()
$ python3 test.py
usage: test.py [-h] {test} ...
test.py: error: the following arguments are required: cmd
