ummm, hate to say this, but have you checked the documentation? this

Thanks, Mats.
I actually searched all over the argparse docs. (There's a lot to digest. Honestly, if I wasn't attempting to be sort of up-to-date I'd just continue using getopt.) It never occurred to me that "version" would be special, so
I didn't specifically search for it, or realize there would be a specific action devoted to it. I knew (the default) "help" was special, so I focused my search for it. Obviously, "--help" is a pretty bad search term.
