Converting the namespace to a dict
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's possible to convert a namespace to a :class:`dict` by using the built-in
function :func:`vars` in this fashion::
args = parser.parse_args()
argdict = vars(args)
This makes it easy to introspect the namespace or to pass the command-line
arguments to a function taking a bunch of keyword arguments::
somefunction(**vars(parser.parse_args()))
