A typo in a subcommand should ideally produce a useful correction. Help output should be easy to scan interactively without becoming noisy when captured by scripts or logs.</p> <p>Python 3.14 adds two <code>argparse.ArgumentParser</code> options aimed directly at those details: <code>suggest_on_error</code> and <code>color</code>.</p>
