Fixed bug with date formats like %Y-%m-%d in help messages of argparse

Now this code does not produce any error when invoked with the -h option and produces the expected result:

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description = 'Just a test code.')
parser.add_argument(
	'--from',
	metavar = 'when', 
	help = 	'A date in format %Y-%m-%d',
	dest = f'From',
	type = str,
	required = True,
)
args = parser.parse_args()

print(args.From)

Hello, and thanks for your contribution!

I'm a bot set up to make sure that the project can legally accept this contribution by verifying everyone involved has signed the PSF contributor agreement (CLA).

Recognized GitHub username

We couldn't find a bugs.python.org (b.p.o) account corresponding to the following GitHub usernames:

@SengerM

This might be simply due to a missing "GitHub Name" entry in one's b.p.o account settings. This is necessary for legal reasons before we can look at this contribution. Please follow the steps outlined in the CPython devguide to rectify this issue.

You can check yourself to see if the CLA has been received.

Thanks again for the contribution, we look forward to reviewing it!

I don't know if a human will ever read this, but if so I have already signed the CLA yesterday and in the check yourself page still says that I have not signed it. Is it normal that it takes so long?
