[New-bugs-announce] [issue13966] Add disable_interspersed_args() to argparse.ArgumentParser

[László Attila Tóth]

New submission from László Attila Tóth <laszlo.attila.toth at gmail.com>:

If someone ports his code from optparse to argparse, there is a limit, that options and non-options can be mixed by default, and this behaviour cannot be disabled easily, an extra '--' argument is required in the command line.

In some cases it is much prettier to explicitly disable this, as was available in the deprecated optparse module.

I attach a patch that does this, adds disable_interspersed_args() to argparse.ArgumentParser.
