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.
