I don’t think that prior art applies here, as python does not have subcommands.  `--help` and `--help-env` are straightforward, `-X help` is a bit unusual but at least it’s part of the optional `-X` options, `--help-full` or `-all` would be way to preserve the behaviour of printing full usage with one option.
