optparse should pay attention to the $COLUMNS environmental variable if it is available. optparse.IndentedHelpFormatter.__init__ should take None as the default for width, and do something like: if width is None: width = os.environ.get('COLUMNS', 80) Better if it's put in HelpFormatter, so that IndentedHelpFormatter and TitledHelpFormatter both act the same. (Python 2.3.3, FreeBSD)

Logged In: YES user_id=14422 OK, just checked in a fix in the Optik CVS: lib/help.py rev 1.13 test/test_optik.py rev rev 1.29 Marking this bug fixed but still open, since it's not in Python's CVS yet. If I hustle, I should be able to get it into Python 2.4...
