7 months ago Hi, I have been searching on this topic for a while, and found a somewhat unsatisfying solution:
According to the following links, there is a bug with argparser when using metadata="" leading to errors when there are long descriptions... or maybe I am misunderstanding things...
https://github.com/swansonk14/typed-argument-parser/issues/58 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56678636/python-argparse-assertionerror-when-running-h
I removed all the metadata="" parts in the main.py of KINgaroo, which solved the issue.
The reason that KIN does not return an error seems to be that metadata="" does not interact weird with short descriptions.
I am still confused why this is a problem to some like me, but not to other users who seem to have no such issues, but at least it is a workaround.
I am not sure if this is a good solution, but I still leave it here for others to see.

Hello, I have been trying to install KINgaroo. While KIN seems to work correctly, KINgaroo seems to not work correctly.
when typing in KINgaroo -h, I get the following Assertion error:

AssertionError
I have tried reinstalling both the environment, program and package with no avail. What I don't understand is that typing in KIN -h causes no problems. Any help will be appreciated.
