[New-bugs-announce] [issue26047] argparse.ArgumentError documentation wrong

[Christof Hanke]

New submission from Christof Hanke:

On https://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html (and on those of the 3.6-Version) it says at the bottom:

"""

ArgumentParser.error(message)

    This method prints a usage message including the message to the standard error and terminates the program with a status code of 2.
"""

In fact, the returned staus code is 1.
