[issue9694] argparse: Default Help Message Lists Required Args As Optional

[Steven Bethard]

Steven Bethard <steven.bethard at gmail.com> added the comment:

I think this is still really a feature request. We can't just change the text from "optional" - that would silently change a large number of help messages without any warning. So to fix this "bug", we're going to have to add an API to explicitly set the group names - which can only be done as a new feature. People using 2.7 will have to use the workaround using parser._optionals I posted here.

type: behavior -> feature request
