No, this is not intentional. Look at the docs for these attributes:
parser.largs
the current list of leftover arguments, ie. arguments that have been
consumed but are neither options nor option arguments. Feel free to modify
parser.largs,

I always used optparse like this, using the rargs (maybe this is not main
intention, but worked so far):
import optparse
parser = optparse.OptionParser()
parser.add_option('--test', action='store_true')
Option at 0x7f55bdb32dd0: --test

Not a bug -- you have to tell argparse that you expect a positional argument.
Try without the '--' and an argument that doesn't start with '-', and it will
still give you that error.

I agree — not the best example, here is a better one explaining what behavior
should not exist:
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('foobar', action='store')
parser.add_argument('foobar2', nargs='?')

Still looks like it is working as designed to me. Argpase is *parsing* the
arguments, that's part of the whole point. What you are observing is what I
would expect from a well behaved unix command (*arguments* before the -- are
just

Optparse behaved like that, how would one get the same results with argparse?
That is by having variable positional parameters to command. And at the same
time stop at --.

Optparse left you to parse the arguments:
import optparse
p = optparse.OptionParser()
p.add_option('--test', action=store_true)
Option at 0x96521bc: --test
p.parse_args(['--test', 'foo', '--', 'foo2'])
(Values at 0x97020a4: {'test':
New submission from Domen ielect...@gmail.com:
Sample code:
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('-v', action='store_true')
parser.add_argument('foo')
parser.parse_args(['-v', '--', '--foo'])
Namespace(foo='--foo', v=True)
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
