I no longer suggest this approach :-)
I'd prefer if we just bundled a copy of 'argparse.py' in the
local scripts/thirdparty directory, and add that to the
python import path, if the system python lacks argparse.
eg if we had $QEMU-GIT/scripts/thirdparty/argparse.py you can
use:
try:
import argparse
except:
import os, sys
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "../thirdparty"))
import argparse
