Thanks for the patch, Mike.

Anne, thank you for the ticket triage! The only missing place was the 
ArgumentParser.add_subparsers() documentation: 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#argparse.ArgumentParser.add_subparsers

This ticket's patch appears to have already been merged, yet it is open? 

On 2.7.9 docs [1], it has the exact language. The tutorial page [2] has a nice 
description as well. Finding this ticket really helped me understand argparse a 
bit better, and now I vote to close :).

action - The basic type of action to be taken when this argument is encountered 
at the command line.

we now specify a new keyword, action, and give it the value "store_true". This 
means that, if the option is specified, assign the value True to args.verbose. 
Not specifying it implies False.

Mike Short added the comment:

I am uploading patches for both 2.7 as well as latest (3.x).  I only added the 
action verbiage itself in, but would it be beneficial to also add in links to 
more detailed descriptions similar to what is done in 
ArgumentParser.add_argument earlier in the argparse page?
