$ grep 'class FooAction' -A4 doc/source/add_argument.rst | cut -c 3-

class FooAction(argparse.Action):

...     def __call__(self, parser, namespace, values, option_string=None):
...     print '%r %r %r' % (namespace, values, option_string)
...     setattr(namespace, self.dest, values)
...

This example is obviously incorrect:

$ python

class FooAction(argparse.Action):

...     def __call__(self, parser, namespace, values, option_string=None):
...     print '%r %r %r' % (namespace, values, option_string)
 File "<stdin>", line 3
   print '%r %r %r' % (namespace, values, option_string)
       ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block

The same bug exists in python2.7-doc, in library/argparse.html, at the bottom of 15.4.3.2.
