+ ``'store_const'`` used for storing the values ``True`` and ``False``
+ respectively. In addition, they create default values of ``False`` and
+ ``True`` respectively. For example::
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
>>> parser.add_argument('--foo', action='store_true')
>>> parser.add_argument('--bar', action='store_false')

>>> parser.parse_args('--foo --bar'.split())
- Namespace(bar=False, foo=True)
+ Namespace(foo=True, bar=False, baz=True)
* ``'append'`` - This stores a list, and appends each argument value to the
list. This is useful to allow an option to be specified multiple times.
