Once answer demonstrates how to change the Formatter:
class CustomHelpFormatter(argparse.HelpFormatter):
def _format_action_invocation(self, action):
if not action.option_strings or action.nargs == 0:
return super()._format_action_invocation(action)
default = self._get_default_metavar_for_optional(action)
args_string = self._format_args(action, default)
return ', '.join(action.option_strings) + ' ' + args_string
Another answer suggests using metavar=''.
