New submission from Antony Lee:
The doc for argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter states that it "maintains whitespace
for all sorts of help text, including argument descriptions." But the
following example (which outputs "Foo", "Bar", and "Baz", each separated by
exactly one empty line) shows that paragraphs separated by more than one empty
line will only be separated in the output text by a single empty line.
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
prog='PROG',
formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter,
description='''\
Foo
Bar
Baz''')
parser.print_help()
