Where's python-argparse package in RHEL?

Question

I'm using python's argparse package in CentOS6. I installed it by the following command.

# yum install python-argparse

However, I could not find the package in RHEL5 and 6. Where is it? How can I get argparse?

Solution

Try to install python packages via easy_install or pip:

# easy_install argparse

# pip install argparse

you can install easy_install or pip via your package manager.

Thanks. I could install via pip! easy_install pip && pip install argparse

Which version? I got the error ImportError: No module named argparse

In RHEL5, I had to install "python-setuptools" package first.

@yosei python >=2.7 or python >=3.2

[ITO Yosei]

The version of Python in RHEL6 and CentOS is 2.6. That is, it is NOT included as standard.

No problem. Thanks for your answer.

// , You can also put argparse.py in the project directory. Download argparse.py from here, copy it to the project directory, and make sure to set the file as executable by the right owner: code.google.com/p/argparse/source/browse/argparse.py For more about this, check out the following answer about argparse: stackoverflow.com/a/21359591/2146138

@NathanBasanese thanks that was only solution as both pip and easy_install was missing from RHEL5 repo
