| Running this code: --------------------------------------- import argparse p = argparse.ArgumentParser() p.add_argument('--foo', help=u'This is a very long help string. ex: "--s3\u00A0s3://my.bucket/dir1/dir2"') p.parse_args() --------------------------------------- produces: --------------------------------------- $ ./arg.py --help usage: arg.py [-h] [--foo FOO] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --foo FOO This is a very long help string. ex: "--s3 s3://my.bucket/dir1/dir2" --------------------------------------- It should not be breaking the line at a non-breaking space. I'm running: Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug 1 2012, 05:14:39) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 |

| The issue here is how `textwrap` handles the non-breaking space. That's being address here: http://bugs.python.org/issue20491 textwrap: Non-breaking space not honored Temporarily an `argparse` user can get around it with `formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter`. That suppresses all automatic wrapping, so it's not perfect. |

| Ahh, sorry. I made a mistake. It's not the same as 29290. This is about 2.7. Although #20491 is closed but 2.7 seems not patched. Nosy Serhiy. |

| I checked the help format. the help_lines' width in python2.7 is different python3. The width is more likely a hardcode in https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/argparse.py#L165. , so the help_lines = [u'This is a very long help string. ex: "--s3', u's3://my.bucket/dir1/dir2"'](when joining this help_lines it will add a '\n' in the middle) Since python 3.3, the width is a dynamic value in https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/argparse.py#L170 , so the help_lines = ['This is a very long help string. ex: "--s3\xa0s3://my.bucket/dir1/dir2"'] |

| Python 2 is EOL, so I think this issue should be closed. |
