Argparse: add method for retrieving the parsers of actions

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

I have a CLI interface with an argparse.ArgumentParser composed of a bunch of different actions. I was trying to validate if an argument had been set to a default value, and with just the main parser available, I was having some issues using get_default() working from the main parser, rather than the parsers for the various actions.

I ended up going with the following comparison, in order to reduce the amount of refactoring I would need to do, where args is the var holding the object returned from parse_args():

        args.my_param == parser._actions[1].choices[args.action]].get_default(args.my_param)

I could also have solved this by adding a wrapper class holding all the subparsers in an object of some kind.

But - I think it would be nice to have a public method for accessing these action parsers, mostly for enabling this kind of use case.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Not that I could find

Inizia con argparse.ArgumentParser, la raccolta _actions del parser, le scelte dei subparser e get_default(). Determina l'ambito e il comportamento previsti del metodo pubblico per recuperare gli action parser, incluso il modo in cui deve supportare il caso d'uso descritto per la convalida dei valori predefiniti. Il lavoro è completato quando l'API e il suo comportamento sono chiaramente definiti e la feature è coperta da test appropriati.
