Changed the parser-code to:

parser.add_argument('--card', type=str, required=False, metavar='<device>', default='/dev/video0',
    help='tv capture device, default </dev/video0>')

parser.add_argument('--host', type=str, required=False, metavar='<hostname>', default=socket.gethostname(),
    help='backend hostname,  default <local hostname>')

args = parser.parse_args()
card = args.card
host = args.host

So I can use a function as the default!
