how to pass boolean arguments in spyder?

I am trying to run (from Spyder) a python script that contains the following code:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Project description')
    parser.add_argument(
        'nbr_workers', type=int, help='Number of workers e.g. 1, 2, 4, 8')
    parser.add_argument(
        '--nbr_samples_in_total',
        type=int,
        default=1e4,
        help='Number of samples in total e.g. 100000000')
    parser.add_argument(
        '--processes',
        action="store_true",
        default=True,
        help='True if using Processes, absent (False) for Threads')

I know that I can use control + F6 in Spyder to submit command line options. However, I am not able to make it work.

Entering

enter image description here

generate the error

runfile('C:/Users/john/.spyder/temp.py', args='3 1000 1', wdir='C:/Users/john/.spyder')
usage: temp.py [-h] [--nbr_samples_in_total NBR_SAMPLES_IN_TOTAL]
               [--processes]
               nbr_workers
temp.py: error: unrecognized arguments: 1000 1
An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

SystemExit: 2

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks!

Ok i think i found the solution. 

runfile('//***/.spyder/temp.py', args='3 --nbr_samples_in_total 100 --processes', wdir='//***/.spyder')

OUT: Namespace(nbr_samples_in_total=100, nbr_workers=3, processes=True)

runfile('//***/.spyder/temp.py', args='3 --nbr_samples_in_total 100', wdir='//***/.spyder')

OUT: Namespace(nbr_samples_in_total=100, nbr_workers=3, processes=False)

You have to ammend the process flag to default=False as you mentioned in your comment absent(false), that way if you do add the flag it'll be set to True
