There is a value for nargs: PARSER="A..." which is not documented at http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/argparse.html#nargs. The docstring for the action class in argparse.py also does not list PARSER as a valid value for nargs. In argparse.py on line 2199-2201 it says: # Allow one argument followed by any number of options or arguments elif nargs == PARSER: nargs_pattern = '(-A[-AO])' This is the only hint that I could find on what it is about.

This is the only hint that I could find on what it is about.
