Apparent missing dep on argparse

No investigation has been done, this was immediately fixed with a 'pip install argparse'. This failure happened on a new Ubuntu 10.04 install. (10.04, I know...)

I'll take a look at this later today. I need to find if I have any old 10.04 or equivalent machines anywhere. :>

Yea, it looks like this is due to argparse being added in Python 2.7. I did a test install on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 13.10, and CentOS 6.5 and all were OK. 10.04 is running Python 2.6, which is why I had to install argparse. (I also tried CentOS 5.10, but that was running Python 2.4 so it failed quite badly...)

I think maybe a note in the readme that Python >= 2.7 is recommended and Python 2.6 requires argparse to be installed (or a similar note) will be fine. I don't see the need to change code to support Python 2.6.
