[issue34827] Make argparse.NameSpace iterable

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

issue8982 is not about making argparse.Namespace iterable, it is about better documenting it.

issue8979 was rejected for several reasons which are still valid.

For making **args working, args shouldn't be iterable, it should have the keys() method. And this will conflict with the --keys option.

Python is not a JavaScript. Objects and dictionaries are different things here. If you want to convert argparse.Namespace to dict, vars(args) is the One Obvious Way. It is officially documented.
