[New-bugs-announce] [issue6253] optparse.OptionParser.get_usage uses wrong formatter

[Jan Pobrislo]

New submission from Jan Pobrislo <ccx at volny.cz>:

When using OptionParser.format_help(formatter), the formatter parameter
should be used to format all of the help message. This is not the case
for usage message, as the method get_usage() is not passed the formatter
and always uses self.formatter. I'm using python-2.6.2-r1.
