parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='This is a demo program.')
parser.add_argument('--arg1', help='Some descriptive text')
parser.add_argument('--arg2', default='somevalue')
parser.add_argument('--action', help='To force START/STOP', choices=['START', 'STOP'])

args = vars(parser.parse_args())

print(args)

Using the --help parameter

$ python3 arguments_example.py --help
usage: arguments_example.py [-h] [--arg1 ARG1] [--arg2 ARG2]
                            [--action {START,STOP}]
