This removes the unused `name` variable in the block where `ArgumentTypeError` is handled.
`ArgumentTypeError` errors are handled by showing just the string of the exception; unlike `ValueError`, the name (`__name__`) of the function is not included in the error message.
Fixes#96548
Help for other actions omit the default value if default is SUPPRESS or
already contains the special format string '%(default)'. Add those
special cases to BooleanOptionalAction's help formatting too.
Fixes https://bugs.python.org/issue44587 so that default=SUPPRESS is not
emitted.
Fixes https://bugs.python.org/issue38956 as this code will detect
whether '%(default)s' has already been specified in the help string.

Raise an ArgumentError when the same subparser name is added twice to an
ArgumentParser. This is consistent with the (default) behavior when the
same option string is added twice to an ArgumentParser.
(Support for `conflict_handler="resolve"` could be considered as a
followup feature, although real use cases seem even rarer than
"resolve"ing option-strings.)

# Adding 'required' to names in Lib.argparse.Action
gh-91832:
Added 'required' to the list `names` in `Lib.argparse.Action`.
Changed constant strings that test the Action object.

Also made modes containing 'a' or 'x' act the same as a mode containing 'w' when argument is '-'
(so 'a'/'x' return sys.stdout like 'w', and 'ab'/'xb' return sys.stdout.buffer like 'wb').
Fix an uncaught exception during help text generation when
argparse.BooleanOptionalAction is used with default=argparse.SUPPRESS
and help is specified.
When `allow_abbrev` was first added, disabling the abbreviation of
long options broke the grouping of short flags ([bpo-26967](https://bugs.python.org/issue26967)). As a fix,
b1e4d1b603 (contained in v3.8) ignores `allow_abbrev=False` for a
given argument string if the string does _not_ start with "--"
(i.e. it doesn't look like a long option).
This fix, however, doesn't take into account that long options can
start with alternative characters specified via `prefix_chars`,
introducing a regression: `allow_abbrev=False` has no effect on long
options that start with an alternative prefix character.
The most minimal fix would be to replace the "starts with --" check
with a "starts with two prefix_chars characters". But
`_get_option_tuples` already distinguishes between long and short
options, so let's instead piggyback off of that check by moving the
`allow_abbrev` condition into `_get_option_tuples`.

BPO -16970: Adding error message for invalid args
Applied the patch argparse-v2 patch issue 16970, ran patch check and the test suite, test_argparse with 0 errors
https://bugs.python.org/issue16970
The `allow_abbrev` option for ArgumentParser is documented and intended to disable support for unique prefixes of --options, which may sometimes be ambiguous due to deferred parsing.
However, the initial implementation also broke parsing of grouped short flags, such as `-ab` meaning `-a -b` (or `-a=b`). Checking the argument for a leading `--` before rejecting it fixes this.
This was prompted by pytest-dev/pytest#5469, so a backport to at least 3.8 would be great 😄
And this is my first PR to CPython, so please let me know if I've missed anything!
https://bugs.python.org/issue26967
There is a possibility that someone (like me) accidentally will omit parentheses with `FileType` arguments after `FileType`, and parser will contain wrong file until someone will try to use it.
Example:
```python
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('-x', type=argparse.FileType)
```

- bugfix and test for fragile metavar handling in argparse (see
bpo-24089, bpo-14046, bpo-25058, bpo-11874)
- also fixes some incorrect tests that did not make 1-element tuples correctly
bpo-26510 in 3.7.0a2 changed the behavior of argparse to make
subparsers required by default, returning to the behavior of 2.7
and 3.2. The behavior was changed in 3.3 to be no longer required.
While it might make more sense to have the default to required,
compatibility with 3.3 through 3.6 is probably less disruptive
than trying to reintroduce compatibility with 2.7 at this point.
This change restores the 3.6 behavior.
This adds support for parsing a command line where options and positionals are intermixed as is common in many unix commands. This is paul.j3's patch with a few tweaks.
Output of func(*args) stored in the next line:
item_help = join([func(*args) for func, args in self.items])
_Section.items only used by HelpFormatter._add_item() and it looks
like it doesn't have any side effects.
Patch by Yogesh Chaudhari.
Before, if a default was set on the parent parser, any default for that
variable set via set_defaults on a subparser would be ignored. Now
the subparser set_defaults is honored.
Patch by Jyrki Pullianinen.
on the action's default, reverting it back to previous behavior. Conversion
is only done on string defaults.
Add a test for this and another test that ensures such type conversions are
only called once.
This fixes a regression introduced by the fix for issue #13922. Although args
is not documented as being allowed to be a tuple, previously this worked and
so naturally there are programs in the field that depend on it.

Before, the type function was called twice in the case where the default
was specified and the argument was given as well. This was especially
problematic for the FileType type, as a default file would always be
opened, even if a file argument was specified on the command line.
