bug with command line option - in 1.5.2?

Given a simple python script


	import sys
	print sys.argv[1]


Shouldn't the command

	python - foo < testpy.py

print the word foo to stdout?  Instead I'm getting this

	~/tmp >python - foo < testpy.py
	python: can't open file 'foo'
	~/tmp >

foo should be parsed as an argument to the script read from stdin.  If
I'm missing something please tell me so I can get here document scripts
working with python.

python v1.5.2
zsh
linux 2.4
