[New-bugs-announce] [issue38736] argparse: wrong type from get_default when type is set

[Erik Ahlén]

New submission from Erik Ahlén <erik.ahlen at gmail.com>:

The type of the object returned by get_default isn't converted to the specified type supplied to add_argument. I would expect the type to be the same.
