I don't know what behavior you were expecting, but *args means "the rest of the positional arguments", not "all of the positional arguments."

See https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html?highlight=variadic#arbitrary-argument-lists

As Dennis said, this isn't a bug. Try printing b and c as well, and you'll find 3 and 4.
