Victor Porton <por...@narod.ru> added the comment:

@Raymond:
"Downstream processing or transformation of inputs is beyond the scope of 
argparse which should stick to its core responsibilities of argument 
extraction."

You somehow contradict the official documentation:
"One particularly effective way of handling sub-commands is to combine the use 
of the add_subparsers() method with calls to set_defaults() so that each 
subparser knows which Python function it should execute."

The official documentation seems to recommend to pass real Python functions to 
the parser. So it does do simple "processing or transformation of inputs" which 
you recommend against.
