New submission from Sam Kerr:
The following code:
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
group1 = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group()
group2 = group1.add_mutually_exclusive_group()
group2.add_argument('-hello',action='store_true', help="A flag")
args = parser.parse_args()
produces this output:
skerr@gravel:~$ python bug.py -h
usage: bug.py [-h] [[-hello]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-hello A flag
skerr@gravel:~$
Note the double [[ around hello, but there is no double ]] to close it. This is
the error.
