paul j3 added the comment: The earlier issue for '--' as arguement
http://bugs.python.org/issue14364 With the patch I suggested there '-f--' and '--foo=--' work as arguments. '--foo --' is still interpreted as a positionals switch. In optparse parsing, a flagged option gets all the remaining strings, and consume what it needs. In the argparse parser, strings are classed as flag and argument and '--'. The top level allocates strings to Actions. '--' is handled at the top level. This difference in parsing makes it impossible to complete replicate POSIX action.
