New submission from Nikolay Golub:
When i use this code:
parser.add_argument('-r', '--range',
action = 'store',
dest = 'ranges',
nargs = 2,
metavar = 'RANGE',
required = False,
help = 'Start and end range date and time for report
data.'\
'Timeformat is %y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'\
'for example -r "2012-08-20 14:48:39
"2012-08-25 15:35:00"'
)
I get this error:

i think that it sin't normal. i always cut strings like these, according to pep8
