[issue24070] Exceptions and arguments disappear when using argparse inside with statement

[Benjamin Peterson]

Benjamin Peterson added the comment:

I'm not sure why this is so surprising. parse_args in __exit__ raises a SystmExit, which the Python interpreter takes to mean the program is responsibly exiting. I don't think any other behavior would be reasonable. e.g. sys.exit() in an except clause shouldn't cause the exception to be printed.
