There is an extra spacing here if you look carefully. I have commented
above the code. Similarly it happens for "-o" too but not for other
alphabets.

1427:~/mypy/argdev$ python3 issue29626.py delete -h
usage: cli delete [-h] [-p] userid

Deletes a user in your organization.

positional arguments:
  userid             The userid of user.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
// extra space after p and ",".
  -p , --projectid   Specify the project ID of project from where you want
to
                     delete the user or else user will be deleted from
                     organization.

I saw this issue as I use argparse for my CLI usecase which has nested
commands.
