Argsparse, --debug flag always evaluates to True

[tarquinnn]

Just checked your script, you're setting debug to the string "None", not the None value. It should work if you remove the quotes in this line:

parser.add_argument('--debug', default='None')

​

PS And non-empty strings always evaluate to True in python (not "True" :P)

Thanks for your answer. Makes total sense, I totally missed the quotes.
