title: python args variable not working with parser.parse_args
body: <p>I am working on a simple script that uses parse_args, but the assignment does not work if the variable name is <code>args</code>, as shown in the documentation and multiple examples.</p>
  
  <pre><code>(Pdb) parser.parse_args()
  Namespace(partition_frequency='daily', start_date='2016-02-03', table_name='test_table')
  
  (Pdb) x=parser.parse_args()
  (Pdb) x
  Namespace(partition_frequency='daily', start_date='2016-02-03', table_name='test_table')
  
  (Pdb) args=parser.parse_args()
  (Pdb) args
        **&gt;&gt; No output**
  (Pdb) arg=parser.parse_args()
  (Pdb) arg
  Namespace(partition_frequency='daily', start_date='2016-02-03', table_name='test_table')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any clues?</p>
