The patch that I recently submitted for http://bugs.python.org/issue13922 appears to solve this issue. It only removes the '--' that marked the end of options. With: parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument('-f','--foo') print(parser.parse_args(['-f--'])) print(parser.parse_args(['--foo=--'])) print(parser.parse_args(['-f', '--'])) I get: Namespace(foo='--') Namespace(foo='--') usage: foodash.py [-h] [-f FOO] foodash.py: error: argument -f/--foo: expected one argument
