Ubuntu 10.10 here (running python 2.6.6).... I use argparse without any
problems: I believe the difference between 2.6 and 2.7 [I am not an
expert on the subject, so correct me if I am wrong] is that with 2.7
argparse comes as *part of the standard library*, but the library per-se
exists since some time, is in the repo, and can be used normally also in
previous versions of python, once installed on the system.

Mac.
