the documentation says argparse.prase_args creates a new empty namespace, but if i pass it a existing namespace, it seems to append the arguments to the existing namespace An example is if it's part of a class, calling parser.parse_args(namespace=self) doesn't seem to have any ill effects. Is this a good idea? is there a better way of doing this? -- Thanks Kevin Anthony Do you use Banshee?
