Man Page Text Wraps for -X option #145649

Description

Documentation

When running man python, the text wraps in expected ways for text under the -X option, making it difficult to read. Within a horizontally narrow terminal, there are extra line breaks, such as between used and memory below:

       -X option
              Set  implementation  specific  option.  The following options are
              available:

                  -X faulthandler: enable faulthandler

                  -X showrefcount: output the total reference count and  number
              of used
                      memory  blocks  when  the  program finishes or after each
              statement in the
                      interactive interpreter. This only works on debug builds

Additionally, although it's less of a concern, the extra line breaks are also present when the terminal is wide. All other parts of the man page seem to respect the terminal width settings.
