Emmm, argparse is depreciated in Fedora 15. The upstream has also did that in the git. However there is no official release for now.

Comment 2 Tejun Heo 2011-07-22 06:00:07 UTC
Ehmm... Dunno what to make of your comment but the following bug seems awfully similar. Maybe the same problem?

Thanks.

Hi,
same problem here after upgrading to fc15 and removing depreciated python-argparse. 
- argparse is now included in python's std lib for python 2.7 and 3.2
- argparse is found in a python shell:
$ python                                      
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Apr 12 2011, 16:15:16) 
[GCC 4.6.0 20110331 (Red Hat 4.6.0-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import argparse
>>> argparse.__version__
'1.1'

The issue comes from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py which checks dependencies, but now argparse is no more a dependency as it is included by default with python.

So the solution should be to remove the dependency from the setup.py (same thing as Bug 700596 mentionned by Tejun).
