I don't think argparse supports the "foo --help subcommand" OOB. I think it would be simple to modify argparse to make it do so. It does support general options followed by a subcommand with options, though.
Right. I've made it kind of work in Mailman 3, but it would be nice for argparse to support this out of the box. Note that I think you want two forms:
foo help subcommand foo subcommand --helpto basically print the same help text. This is the way bzr does it for example and it works great.
Other than that, I think argparse supports Guido's use case very nicely. -Barry
