2013-01-17 Thread Chris Jerdonek
Chris Jerdonek added the comment: This wasn't just in the documentation. It was the *first* example of how to use the choices argument out of the two examples in that section (from the time Python first adopted argparse and before): 16.4.3.7. choices Some command-line arguments s
