Xiang Zhang added the comment: I think this is a regression when coming to 3.x. In 2.7, r'\s+' is by default in ASCII mode and won't match unicode non-breaking spaces. In 3.x it's by default unicode mode so non-breaking spaces are replaced by spaces. I think we can just use [ \t\n\r\f\v]+.
Since here are more active core devs I am going to close #16623 and move this forward here. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +paul.j3, roysmith, serhiy.storchaka versions: +Python 3.6, Python 3.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46312/argparse-help-non-breaking-spaces.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29290> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
