[Python-modules-team] Bug#922880: :path: parameter fails for subcommands with aliases

[Hanno Stock]

Package: python3-sphinx-argparse
Version: 0.1.15-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

sphinx-argparse fails when trying to document a subcommand for a
subcommand which has aliases defined.

It will throw an Exception in the parser_navigate function and
therefore fail the entire generation process.

I have already reported this bug upstream, see
https://github.com/ribozz/sphinx-argparse/issues/108

This problem is not fixed upstream, yet - so it does apply to
versions in unstable and testing as well.

As soon as upstream has fixed the problem, I'll supply a patch
- I suggest fixing this in stable as well.

The problem does only affect the Python3 version, as subcommand
aliases are not available in Python2.7.

Best regards
  Hanno Stock
