> I am not setting columns, so that might be the important difference. Yeah, the whole example with IDLE is moot: argparse only checks $COLUMNS and defaults to 80, so if COLUMNS is not set, you are only checking if the code works with 80 columns. Please try my commandline example or set os.environ['COLUMNS'] = 15. I get the exception in IDLE too.
