I want to make the --new-entry paramettre be able to process a key-value sequence with space as statement separator.

As example:

script.py --new-entry name="The Republic" author="Plato" year="-400"

In this example, name="The Republic" author="Plato" year="-400" is the whole value of the parameter --new-entry. Ideally, I want to get it inside a dictionnary, like:

    {
        "name": "The Republic",
        "author": "Plato",
        …
    }

So, is their a feature like this inside argparse, or with any other library?
