  Description     : An advanced formatter for argparse

The Python standard argparse library module remains a useful tool for
CLI documentation and argument collection. It contains a number of
Formatter classes which can perform operations such as automatic word
wrap and paragraph formatting. Unfortunately, none do both.

This package introduces the ParagraphHelpFormatter, which supports word
wrap, paragraph formatting, and bulleted lists. Debian packaging makes
it more generally available for Python CLI packages.

This module has long been submitted for inclusion with Python [1]. It's
recently been decided that no new Formatters will be included with the
language. [2]

I intend to maintain the package. Co-maintainers are welcome.
