Hi WorriedParrot51
Assuming you run the code "manually" once (i.e. without the agent). Then when you call Task.init it will register the argparser.
When running with the agent, the first time you will call parse, it will automatically override the argparse defaults with the values stored in the Task.
Make sesne?

am getting None for Task.current_task() at the beginning of my script.

Task.init() is doing the magic , only after this call you will have current_task (either running manually or with an agent)
