[issue15125] argparse: positional arguments containing - in name not handled well

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

Isn’t the obvious workaround to pass a dest argument which is a valid identifier?  add_argument('spam-eggs', dest='spam_eggs')

Maybe argparse in 3.4 could do this transformation automatically (see how namedtuple converts anything to valid identifiers).
