The Python module optparse is deprecated and is no longer receiving updates. From the Python documentation:
Can take advantage of the argpares API by making the following cleanups:
Remove
default=None
. It is the default.https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#default
Remove
dest='...'
, when it matches the first long option, which is the argparse default.https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#dest
Remove default=False for type='store_true' as it is an implied default:
