Description
Bug report
Bug description:
As of 3.14, argparse --help accidentally includes the ansi-escapes when calculating the length of the invocations, resulting in excessive margins between options and their helptext. Effectively, the indentation will always be 24 (max_help_position).
import argparse
argparse.ArgumentParser().print_help()in 3.14, this produces:
options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
in previous versions, it produces:
options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
