It would be nice to have a way for the white space to be cleaned up in the help string. This would be useful when using multiline triple quoted strings to pass in help text to the option parser and you want to indent the help text on each line so the source code reads well.
I use: def parseargs(): parser = OptionParser(...) parser.add_option('-a', '--age', action='store', default='1w', help="""\ Confirmations older than this value are removed. age is a float number followed by one of the following unit specifier letters: m - minutes h - hours d - days w - weeks""") -Barry
