This is all working as designed. We do not want to modify argparse to split parameters.
You probably want to split the input with shlex.split(). See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44945815/how-to-split-a-string-into-command-line-arguments-like-the-shell-in-python
You shouldn't need to mutate sys.argv. You can break the input up into multiple strings with shlex.split() (or whatever you decide to use) and pass those to ArgumentParser.parse_args().
