[issue14149] argparse usage model requires argument names to be python identifiers

[Éric Araujo]

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

If argparse munged foo-bar to foo_bar to allow attribute access, then it’d need to disallow ambiguous cases like add_argument('foo_bar', ...); add_argument('foo-bar', ...).  I’m not sure if there is real, sensible code that does that, though.

> Namespace should act like an object and dict.
I don’t understand, can you rephrase?
