https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#prog
"By default, ArgumentParser objects uses sys.argv[0]"

Should be "objects use" as in all other places in the doc.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#conflict-handler
"By default, ArgumentParser objects raises an exception"

Should be "objects raise" as in all other places in the doc.

Applied a patch to the issue.
