[New-bugs-announce] [issue9345] argparse wrap tests are sensitive to terminal size

[Steven Bethard]

New submission from Steven Bethard <steven.bethard at gmail.com>:

[From http://code.google.com/p/argparse/issues/detail?id=63]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. PYTHONPATH=. python test/test_argparse.py
2. do the above in an 80x24 terminal window and it passes
3. do the same in an 80 wide emacs shell buffer and you get lots of failures

To make sure this doesn't continue to be a problem, we probably need to do something like os.environ['COLUMNS'] = 80 and check output like that.
