spelling "import" correctly? :) Also, make sure that, if you've
named your module "IndentedHelpFormatterWithNL.py" that created
your parser with
parser = OptionParser(...
formatter=
IndentedHelpFormatterWithNL.IndentedHelpFormatterWithNL
)
You'll also want to make sure that these two lines:
from optparse import IndentedHelpFormatter
import textwrap
are at the top of the IndentedHelpFormatterWithNL.py file, not at
the top of the file importing the IndentedHelpFormatter.
