argparse allows abbreviations by default so --li matches --list as a prefix match. This is documented at https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/argparse.html#argument-abbreviations-prefix-matching From python 3.5 allow_abbrev=False can be passed to ArgumentParser to disable this. See also issue10981 and issue14910 that implemented this. https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#argument-abbreviations-prefix-matching.
