That happens because argparse uses `os.basename(sys.argv[0])` (per default) as program name, but `sys.argv[0]` is usually a string of length 0 at interactive sessions. The tests use ``"usage: {} ...".format(program_name)`` (note that there will be two spaces for an empty `program_name`) for the expected output, while argparse only outputs one space in that case.
