Sorry about such a slow response on this. Thanks for the patch!
I think rather than adding an ArgumentParser constructor parameter though, we
should add a new formatter class. The attached patch allows you to write:
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
... prog='PROG',
... formatter_class=argparse.MetavarTypeHelpFormatter)
>>> parser.add_argument('--foo', type=int)
>>> parser.add_argument('bar', type=float)
>>> parser.print_help()
usage: PROG [-h] [--foo int] float
positional arguments:
float
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--foo int
What do you think?
