New submission from Vanessa McHale:

Currently, python computes string widths based on number of characters. 
However, this will not work in general because some languages have e.g. vowel 
markers: 'བོད' for instance is three characters but its width should be two. 

I have an example repo here: https://github.com/vmchale/argparse-min-example
