    I figured it out…there was a logistics file given with the assignment! I thought it was supposed to be a download included with the python download…oops!

    Thanks,

    Thanks, Mats.

    I actually searched all over the argparse docs. (There's a lot to digest. Honestly, if I wasn't attempting to be sort of up-to-date I'd just continue using getopt.) It never occurred to me that "version" would be special, so
    I didn't specifically search for it, or realize there would be a specific action devoted to it. I knew (the default) "help" was special, so I focused my search for it. Obviously, "--help" is a pretty bad search term.

    I think you made this response in the wrong thread...
