Hey, it has json ld scripts:
{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Wrong output example on invalid options documentation","articleBody":"In the current documentation on the error message when invalid args are passed states that the available choices are single-quoted, but they actually aren't, both according to [argparse's code](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/c9932a9ec8a3077933a85101aae9c3ac155e6d04/Lib/argparse.py#L2587) and its tests ([here](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/c9932a9ec8a3077933a85101aae9c3ac155e6d04/Lib/test/test_argparse.py#L1020) and [here](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/c9932a9ec8a3077933a85101aae9c3ac155e6d04/Lib/test/test_argparse.py#L2288)).\n\nAlso, the [optparse](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/c9932a9ec8a3077933a85101aae9c3ac155e6d04/Lib/optparse.py#L431) ([test](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/c9932a9ec8a3077933a85101aae9c3ac155e6d04/Lib/test/test_optparse.py#L828)) error message does include single quotes. They should probably both have the same error format.\n\nI am reporting this following a PR I made to fix a failing test in the deal library: https://github.com/life4/deal/pull/138\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-130751\n* gh-144983\n* gh-149385\n* gh-149386\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/TheDSCPL","@type":"Person","name":"TheDSCPL"},"datePublished":"2025-03-02T00:23:21.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/130750/cpython/issues/130750"}
