New submission from László Attila Tóth <laszlo.attila.t...@gmail.com>:
I tried to use the following code where the --db-password is not shown in the
--help output (Originally I wanted to use mutually exclusive groups but that
feature also works strangely, so I changed them to regular groups).
def register_db_args(parser: argparse.ArgumentParser):
grp = parser.add_argument_group('Database settings')
grp.add_argument('--db-config', dest='db_config_file',
help='Config file containg all details including password')
grp.add_argument('--db-host')
grp.add_argument('--db-port')
grp.add_argument('--db-user')
xgrp = grp.add_argument_group()
xgrp.add_argument('--db-password')
xgrp.add_argument('--db-password-env')
xgrp.add_argument('--db-password-file')
