Comment:

 Thanks for the report. The following calls work as expected for me :
 {{{#!python
 management.call_command('pause', '--until=1')
 management.call_command('pause', '--until', '1')
 management.call_command('pause', '--for=1')
 management.call_command('pause', '--for', '1')
 }}}
 however I confirmed an issue when passing arguments in keyword arguments:
 {{{
 management.call_command('pause', until='1')
 management.call_command('pause', **{'for': '1'}) # Using
 "call_command('pause', for='1')" raises SyntaxError
 }}}

 This is caused by using `dest` for mapping `**options` to arguments, see

 call_command()].
