That lambda function would not give the same result, as it would constrain the text width to a fixed value, while my proposal would just set a maximum limit (if the terminal is narrower, the actual text width would be reduced). With the current implementation all possible solutions are in my opinion overkilling for such a basic task. Maybe it is not a direct consequence of this, but as a matter of fact most Python scripts using `argparse` that I know (including `pip`) do not control the text width, which IMHO is not a good practice. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39809> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
