By the way, we could simplify the typical add_argument usage by adding
"show program's version number and exit" as the default help for the

parser.add_argument('--version', action='version', version='<the version>')
With that change, I would have no problem with the current argparse
behaviour (since doing it this way makes it very easy for people to add
a "-V" shortcut if they want one).
+1 This sounds good to me also.
Note that the python interpreter uses -V and --version.
r...@gutsy:~$ python3.1 -V
Python 3.1.2
r...@gutsy:~$ python3.1 --version
Python 3.1.2
And -v is used as follows:
-v : verbose (trace import statements); also PYTHONVERBOSE=x
can be supplied multiple times to increase verbosity
