[issue34299] argparse description formatting

[Zsolt Cserna]

Zsolt Cserna <cserna.zsolt at gmail.com> added the comment:

You would need to use the RawTextHelpFormatter as format_class for the constructor. In this case, argparse will apply no re-wrapping of the description.

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="""foo
bar
baz""", formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter)
