An overlapping issue https://bugs.python.org/issue18943 argparse: default args in mutually exclusive groups That issue shows that this problem arises with small integers as well (<257), which in cpython have unique ids. It's an implementation detail, pypy for example does not have this issue. The whole purpose of this extra default testing is to allow '?/*' positionals in mutually_exclusive_groups. The patch I proposed in 2013 is basically the same thing, except I called the new flag variable 'using_default'. We should review the discussion in that issue to see if it raises any additional issues or concerns.
