Description (last modified by )
Python 3.14 introduces colorized help to argparse: https://docs.python.org/3.14/library/argparse.html#color
I propose that we enable this feature by setting color=True for all argument parsers in Django, notably for management commands.
Python supports common opt-out environment variables for the feature. I think we’ll need to extend that to also avoid setting the color attribute when DJANGO_COLORS is set to nocolor, as already documented.
We may also be able to set the option when `--force-color` is passed, although that may not make sense when --help is passed.
