Welp, I learned something new today too :) Thanks Ryan for pointing that out! What you may want to consider is backporting the exact argparse.py from Python 3.7. It's a fairly straight-forward module and will probably work fine on 3.6. That way, once you upgrade to 3.7, it'll keep working the exact same way.
