Following up Andrew's last comment, for the record, it looks like this was done
as part of issue 8982.

superseder: - argparse docs cross reference Namespace as a class but the
Namespace class is not documented
Hobs added the comment:
Seems like a great idea. `foo(**dict(args))` is very useful.
I tested `foo(**dict(iter(o.__dict__.items(` on python 2.7 Mac OSX for my
foo and it worked well.

There's no argparse in 3.1, so it should only go into 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3. But
yes, the patch looks great to me too.

Here's a documentation-only patch which adds a section about using vars() to
convert a namespace to a dict.
If this becomes a documentation issue, can we target Python 3.2.1 instead of
Python 3.3?

+1 for this patch.
Documentation fixes are backported from the development branch to stable
branches, so yes, this will land in 3.1 too.

Yes, definitely `vars` deserves some description and an example in the
documentation. This isn't the first time this question has come up. =)

I didn't know about vars() (well, I knew it existed, but never was quite sure
what it did).
Given that I'm not a Python newbie, I'm guessing I'm not alone in this
situation. Maybe that instead of making the Namespace iterable, we should
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:
Nice idea indeed, thanks for the patch.
For the doc section, I’d prefer to de-emplasize the specific use case of
**kwargs, in favor of mentioning dict conversion in a general way:
Converting the namespace to a dict
Steven Bethard steven.beth...@gmail.com added the comment:
What's wrong with `vars(args)`? That's the standard way of getting a dict from
an object, no?
Note that you're not always guaranteed to get a Namespace back (e.g. if you
pass the namespace= argument to parse_args), and I'd generally
Virgil Dupras hs...@hardcoded.net added the comment:
I went ahead and created a patch (with test and doc) making argparse.Namespace
iterable.

New submission from Virgil Dupras hs...@hardcoded.net:
Currently, there is no (documented) way to easily extract arguments in an
argparse Namespace as a dictionary. This way, it would me easy to interface a
function taking a lot of kwargs like this:
args = parser.parse_args()
Raymond Hettinger rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment:
+1 for making the object readily convertible to a dictionary. That would also
serve to make it more introspectable without losing the simplicity of the
current design.
