[issue15874] argparse cannot parse shell variable arguments in file-given arguments

[Steven Bethard]

Steven Bethard added the comment:

You could try declaring a type converter and using the type= parameter of add_argument. Your type converter could look something like:

    def expanded_path(arg):
        return os.path.expandvars(arg)

Would that work?
