See nargs=argparse.REMAINDER for an approach that doesn't require that first '--': http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html#nargs But yeah, removing more than one '--' is probably a bug. Fixing it would be a little backwards incompatible though. Is it possible that anyone actually depends on the behavior of consuming multiple '--' arguments?
