the right way to use argparse module in Jupyter Notebook

Question

Is that possible to use argparse module in JupterNotebook?

For instance, I test the following code segment

import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--x', type=int, required=True)
parser.add_argument('--y', type=int, required=True)
args = parser.parse_args()
product = args.x * args.y
print('Product:', product)

And running the above code in JupterNotebook, I got the following error message

Suppose you have this small code in python:

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("-v", "--verbose", help="increase output verbosity",
                    action="store_true")
parser.add_argument("-v_1", "--verbose_1", help="increase output verbosity",
                    action="store_true")
args = parser.parse_args()

To write this code in Jupyter notebook write this:

import argparse

args = argparse.Namespace(verbose=False, verbose_1=False)

Note: In python, you can pass arguments on runtime but in the Jupyter notebook that will not be the case so be careful with the data types of your arguments.
