I use `virtualenv2`, because on my distribution, python 3 is the default.
I reverted bug 1196489 locally, and gaia displayed the help again.

Also bug 1212623 was caused by this. Ideally, we would have some automated tests surrounding command line arguments which would have caused this.
Comment on attachment 8671342 [details] [gaia] JohanLorenzo:bug-1212796 > mozilla-b2g:master It turns out to be a small patch, that was actually documented at [1]: > Replace strings with implicit arguments such as %default or %prog with the > standard Python syntax to use dictionaries to format strings, that is, > %(default)s and %(prog)s. Sorry, I missed that in the review of bug 1196489. I performed a |git grep '%default'|, and no more are present after this patch.

(In reply to Martijn Wargers [:mwargers] (QA) from comment #3) I agree with that. However, I don't see any test for gaiatest itself. Creating some will introduce some work of setting test suite up. Let's put work on that in bug 1212838.
