cmd2 crash running with Python 3.15.0a6 #1603

Description

@tleonhardt

Attempting to run any cmd2 app using the latest alpha version of Python 3.15, 3.15.0a6, results in a crash in our argparse_custom.py code.

The crash looks like:

    class ArgparseApp(cmd2.Cmd):
tests/test_argparse.py:58: in ArgparseApp
    tag_parser = cmd2.Cmd2ArgumentParser(description='create a html tag')
