New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com>:
In this script, '-x' is required argument:
------------------------------------------
import argparse
p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
p.add_argument('-x', required=True)
p.print_help()
However, the automatically generated help shows it as optional:
---------------------------------------------------------------
usage: ap_demo.py [-h] -x X
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-x X
