How to iterate over arguments

Question

I have such script:

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
                description=\'Text file conversion.\'
                )
parser.add_arg         


        

Answer 1

Namespace objects aren't iterable, the standard docs suggest doing the following if you want a dictionary:

>>> vars(args)
{'foo': 'BAR'}

So

for key,value in vars(args).iteritems():
    # do stuff

To be honest I'm not sure why you want to iterate over the arguments. That somewhat defeats the purpose of having an argument parser.
