[New-bugs-announce] [issue17940] extra code in argparse.py

[Alex]

New submission from Alex:

In class HelpFormatter, class _Section, format_help(self)
(lines 199 & 200), the two lines

            for func, args in self.items:
                func(*args)

aren't necessary; the results of func are ignored.
"func" is applied (again) on the next line when the
output is joined into item_help.

Cheers
