I have some Python 2.7 code written that uses the argparse module. Now I need to run it on a Python 2.6 machine and it won't work since argparse was added in 2.7.
Is there anyway I can get argparse in 2.6? I would like to avoid rewriting the code, since I will be transferring this kind of code between the machines often. Upgrading python is not an option.
I should have clarified that the ideal solution would be something that does not require module installation.
The standard Python library argparse used to incorporate the parsing of command line arguments. Instead of having to manually set variables inside of the code, argparse can be used to add flexibility and reusability to your code by allowing user input values to be parsed and utilized.
On Centos, Scientific, or Redhat, you can fix this by running the command:for
yum install python-argparse
You can install it via pip or easy_install: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/argparse
