Can argparse support undocumented options?
#2
From argparse docs:
Quote:argparse supports silencing the help entry for certain options, by setting the help value to argparse.SUPPRESS:
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='frobble')
>>> parser.add_argument('--foo', help=argparse.SUPPRESS)
>>> parser.print_help()
usage: frobble [-h]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
