[issue41255] Argparse.parse_args exits on unrecognized option with exit_on_error=False

[Matthew Hughes]

Matthew Hughes <matthewhughes934 at gmail.com> added the comment:

I've attached a patch containing tests showing the current behavior, namely that exit_on_error does not change the behavior of argparse.ArgumentParser.parse_args in either case:

* An unrecognized option is given
* A required option is not given

Should the docs be updated to note this?
