[issue29806] Requesting version info with lowercase -v or -vv causes an import crash
New submission from Anne Moroney: In trying to test the new feature in 3.6.0, $ python -VV # get more info than python -V or python --version I found several oddities. 1.On both Amazon Linux AMI Python 2.7.12 and also Anaconda Python 3.6.0, using lowercase v's causes a crash on some kind of import. 1a.AWS first lines are: [ec2-user@ip-172-31-2-101 ~]$ python -v # installing zipimport hook import zipimport # builtin # installed zipimport hook # /usr/lib64/python2.7/site.pyc matches /usr/lib64/python2.7/site.py import site # precompiled from /usr/lib64/python2.7/site.pyc 1b.Conda first lines are: (py36aws)me:tool-aws me$ python -v import _frozen_importlib # frozen import _imp # builtin import sys # builtin import '_warnings' # //etc 1c.In both cases, after lots of stuff, must quit python with quit() 2.Anaconda does not provide more information. Is that expected? (py36aws) $ python -VV Python 3.6.0 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc. (py36aws)$ python -V Python 3.6.0 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc.

[issue22317] action argument is not documented in argparse add_subparser() docs
Anne Moroney added the comment: 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 :).
