.. _deprecated:

deprecated
^^^^^^^^^^

During a project's lifetime, some arguments may need to be removed from the
command line. Before removing them, you should inform
your users that the arguments are deprecated and will be removed.
The ``deprecated`` keyword argument of
:meth:`~ArgumentParser.add_argument`, which defaults to ``False``,
specifies if the argument is deprecated and will be removed
in the future.
For arguments, if ``deprecated`` is ``True``, then a warning will be
printed to :data:`sys.stderr` when the argument is used::

>>> import argparse
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='snake.py')
>>> parser.add_argument('--legs', default=0, type=int, deprecated=True)
>>> parser.parse_args([])
Namespace(legs=0)
>>> parser.parse_args(['--legs', '4']) # doctest: +SKIP
snake.py: warning: option '--legs' is deprecated
Namespace(legs=4)

.. versionadded:: 3.13
