[issue9182] argparse: optional argument w/ narg='+' conflicts w/ positional argsument

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

I get the same behavior in 2.7. Adding '--', I get:

>>> p.parse_args('-b 123 456 -- bla'.split())
Namespace(bar=[123, 456], foo='bla')

Which is what I expect.

Éric: From your comment, I'm not sure if you think it's a doc bug because '--' does work, or because it doesn't work without it. But I think it's working as designed. I'm closing this. If you think it's a doc bug, please reopen and change to the Documentation component.
