[New-bugs-announce] [issue13879] Argparse does not support subparser aliases in 2.7

[Tim Willis]

New submission from Tim Willis <schadenfreude328 at gmail.com>:

Argparse documentation in 2.7 indicates support for an 'aliases' kwarg.  (Fourth example down from http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html#sub-commands)

While aliases work as expected in 3.2, use in 2.7 results in TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'aliases'
