Comment:

Thank you Adam, the feature request makes sense. Given that Python 3.14 is
scheduled for October 1st, and the feature freeze for 6.0 is mid
September, we could only include this starting in 6.1.

Great, thanks for submitting a PR. When you've addressed the first round

New description:

https://docs.python.org/3.14/library/argparse.html#suggest-on-error

This new feature provides friendly feedback when mistyping a choice or
subparser. We can activate for all argparse Parsers (mostly management

commands) when Django supports Python 3.14.

In [changeset:"b1a65eac7c09250d36e12464fc8fff2a401246b6" b1a65ea]:
{{{#!CommitTicketReference repository=""
revision="b1a65eac7c09250d36e12464fc8fff2a401246b6"
Fixed #36321 -- Defaulted suggest_on_error=True in management commands.

Python 3.15 defaults suggest_on_error=True, but the feature is available
from 3.14, so this change opts in earlier. This change can be reverted
when Python 3.15 is the minimum supported version.
