When printing help from an optparse.OptParser in a
XEmacs shell buffer, the option text is wrapped one
character too wide.  I've taken to doing something like
this in my code:

parser.formatter.width -= 1
parser.formatter.help_width -= 1

which is ugly.  I think the default is to wrap to 80
characters.  It should wrap to 79 characters.

Agreed, and fixed on the head in Lib/optparse.py revision 1.6.
