argparse supports non-ambiguous abbreviations of subparser names.
For example, the following three calls are all supported

>>> parser.parse_args(['che', 'bar'])
Namespace(foo='bar')
One particularly effective way of handling sub-commands is to combine the use
of the :meth:`add_subparsers` method with calls to :meth:`set_defaults` so
that each subparser knows which Python function it should execute. For
