that the difference between the default and nargs=1 is that with the default, a single value will be produced, while with nargs=1, a list containing a single value will be produced. - const -- The value to be produced if the option is specified and the option uses an action that takes no values. - default -- The value to be produced if the option is not specified. - type -- A callable that accepts a single string argument, and returns the converted value. The standard Python types str, int, float, and complex are useful examples of such callables. If None, str is used. - choices -- A container of values that should be allowed. If not None, after a command-line argument has been converted to the appropriate type, an exception will be raised if it is not a member of this collection. - required -- True if the action must always be specified at the command line. This is only meaningful for optional command-line arguments. - help -- The help string describing the argument. - metavar -- The name to be used for the option's argument with the help string. If None, the 'dest' value will be used as the name. NFc
