Bug 1256107

Description of problem:
If abrt is called when the python-argparse package is not installed, it will throw an exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/abrt-action-notify", line 18, in <module>
    from argparse import ArgumentParser
ImportError: No module named argparse

causing another abrt call. This can result in thousands of emails. If the system has a package that has a listed dependency for python-argparse (or installed directly) then this issue doesn't occur.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abrt-2.0.8-34

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a default RHEL6 system that does not have python-argparse installed
2. Cause a segfault or other event that abrt cares about
3. Note that abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/libexec/abrt-action-generate-machine-id' appears in the log
4. Note that abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/bin/abrt-action-notify' appears in the log
5. Emails are sent notifying the admin of the problem of steps 3 and 4 which causes more emails.

Actual results:
abrt crashes with an exception while trying to notify the admin of an error

Expected results:
abrt notifies the admin of an error but does not crash itself

Note that python-argparse *is* listed as a dependency so is installed if needed.

Demonstrated dependency:

# /usr/bin/abrt-action-notify -v
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/abrt-action-notify", line 18, in <module>
    from argparse import ArgumentParser
ImportError: No module named argparse
# yum install -y python-argparse

After installing python-argparse abrt-action-notify executes as expected.
