Steven Bethard <steven.beth...@gmail.com> added the comment: Argparse's wrapping behavior is determined by the formatter_class:
http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html#formatter-class Is it reasonable to assume that if you're wrapping your own messages you're already specifying formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter? If so, then perhaps the message should be printed via something like: formatter = parser._get_formatter() formatter.add_text(self.message) file.write(formatter.format_help()) This is what we do in _VersionAction, so I guess it's probably what we should do here. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9399> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
