I think the docs of argparse still contain confusing magic:

parser.parse_args('7'.split())


You know what it does and I know it. But a lot of people new to Python, don't understand what this should be.

Please use:

parser.parse_args(['7'])


Close this ticket, if you don't care for people new to Python.
