By default, ArgumentParser objects read command-line args in as simple strings.
However, quite often the command-line string should instead be interpreted as

To ease the use of various types of files, the argparse module provides the
factory FileType which takes the ``mode=`` and ``bufsize=`` arguments of the
-``file`` object. For example, ``FileType('w')`` can be used to create a
+:func:`open` function. For example, ``FileType('w')`` can be used to create a
writable file::
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
>>> parser.add_argument('bar', type=argparse.FileType('w'))
>>> parser.parse_args(['out.txt'])
- Namespace(bar=<open file 'out.txt', mode 'w' at 0x...>)
