That ``for`` loop is an anti-pattern in Python.  If you want to iterate
over the elements of `args` the just do it directly instead of using an
index:

    for arg in args:
        if arg == '-no':
            # ...

If you need the element *and* an index:

    for i, arg in enumarate(args):
        # ...
