What does the help output look like now?

Old:

root@snekbox-6c47cc4bf5-9gchm:/snekbox# python -m snekbox --help
usage: snekbox [-h] code [nsjail_args ...] [--- py_args ...]

positional arguments:
  code         the Python code to evaluate
  nsjail_args  override configured NsJail options (default: [])
  py_args      arguments to pass to the Python process (default: ['-c'])

options:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit

New:

root@a7cdb21501e0 /snekbox
❯ python -m snekbox --help
usage: snekbox [-h] code [nsjail_args ...] [--- py_args ...]

positional arguments:
  code                  the Python code to evaluate

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --nsjail-args [NSJAIL_ARGS ...]
                        override configured NsJail options (default: []) (default: [])
  --py-args [PY_ARGS ...]
                        arguments to pass to the Python process (default: ['-c']) (default: ['-c'])

I can try find a solution that brings them closer together, they are functionally the same (hence no updates in the test cases) but the help is presented differently.

Why is the default shown twice now?

They're now options rather than positional arguments. That's confusing.

We hard-coded it previously but now switching it from store_const appears to display it again, we can remove our hardcoding.

Yeah, I'll be honest I'd just updated it to maintain functionality because argparse in 3.14 broke it, hadn't looked at how it changed the help command.

I'll have a play around to see if I can maintain behaviour on 3.14 and keep the help command useful.

help="override configured NsJail options (default: [])",
)
parser.add_argument(
"py_args",
action="store_const",
const=["-c"],
"--py-args",
nargs="*",
default=["-c"],
dest="py_args",
help="arguments to pass to the Python process (default: ['-c'])",
)

# nsjail_args and py_args are just dummies for documentation purposes.
# Their actual values come from all the unknown arguments.
# There doesn't seem to be a better solution with argparse.
