Disable abbreviation in argparse

Question

argparse uses per default abbreviation in unambiguous cases.

I don\'t want abbreviation and I\'d like to disable it. But didn\'t find it in the documentation.

As of Python 3.5.0 you can disable abbreviations by initiating the ArgumentParser with the following:

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(allow_abbrev=False)

Also see the documentation.
