Commandline arguments and options are display twice

[mani-nesan]

When I call

pt
//
usage: pt [-h] [-v] [-q] {a,i,t} ...
pt: error: too few arguments
usage: pt [-h] [-v] [-q] {a,i,t} ...
pt: error: too few arguments
//

pt -h
//
usage: pt [-h] [-v] [-q] {a,i,t} ...

Platinumial Peragro commandline tool

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose Be verbose
-q, --quiet Hide most output

subcommands:
valid subcommands

{a,i,t} additional help
a Analyze a given file
i Inspect a given file or hash in store
t Transcode a given file
usage: pt [-h] [-v] [-q] {a,i,t} ...

Also this behaviour follows on other unfinished commands like pt a & pt t

Through debugging I found the cause of this problem in cli.py line 173,

args, options_args = parser.parse_known_args()

Is there any way to avoid this stdout display? I went through the argparse documentation, but can't able to find any solution!

The cause is indeed the parse_known_args, the arguments for the commandline are build dynamically based on the type and format of the asset in question, this unfortunately results in the second print for which I have yet to find a solution.
