I have an Python3 argparse implementation that is invoked as a method from =
an imported=0A=
class within a users script __main__.=0A=
=0A=
When argparse is setup in __main__ instead, all the help switches produce h=
elp then exit.=0A=
When a help switch is passed based on the above implementation, they are ig=
nored?=0A=
=0A=
Anyone seen this and or know of a workaround?=0A=
=0A=
Thanks,=0A=
