New submission from Mike Hoy <mhoy09 at gmail.com>:
In the Docs mailing list a typo was pointed out in argparse docs.
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html#metavar
> "So, a single positional argument with dest='bar' will that argument
> will be referred to as bar."
> "So, a single positional argument with dest='bar' WITH that argument
> will be referred to as bar."
Eli Bendersky:

Patch says "So,a single positional argument with dest='bar' will be referred to as bar"
