Boolean flags are a common enough case that I'd be inclined to add a wrapper 
method, so you could just say:

        parser.add_bool_argument('--plot')

As you can always fall back to the more general add_argument() call, the 
wrapper could just handle the usual case (default false, presence of option 
sets flag to True).  So the signature would be pretty simple - something like:

        def add_bool_argument(self, help=None, dest=None):
