I submitted a PR for this based on paul.j3's suggested change:
def _format_action_invocation(self, action):
....
for option_string in action.option_strings:
if len(args_string)>0:
parts.append('%s %s' % (option_string, args_string))
else:
parts.append('%s' % option_string)
....
I created a test that would have duplicated the original issue and, with the
change, no longer prints the extra blank.
To Serhiy's point, I'm not sure if an empty metavar makes sense since it's
intention is to give the parser a way to refer to the expected arguments within
the help messages.
However, with no metavar at all, the help output is:
-f FOO, --foo FOO
With metavar = '' (and this change), the output is:
-f, --foo
With metavar = '' (and without this change), the output is:
-f , --foo
