How can I get argparse in Python 2.6?

Question

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.

Answer 1

在Centos，Scientific或Redhat上，您可以通过运行以下命令来解决此问题：for

yum install python-argparse

Answer 2

您可以通过pip或easy_install安装它： https ： //pypi.python.org/pypi/argparse

Answer 3

您还可以获取argparse.py文件（例如来自https://pypi.python.org/pypi/argparse ）并将其放在与主python文件相同的文件夹中。

Answer 4

如果您使用的是类似Debian的系统，您可以简单地写一下：

apt-get install python-argparse

Answer 5

When I had this need I just installed argparse using pip: pip install argparse . This worked fine for the python-2.6.6-66.el6_8.x86_64 that was installed on my vanilla CentOS 6.8 system. I later found out that this did not work on other systems running python-2.6.6-52.el6.x86_64 . As a result I ended up copying argparse related files from one system to the other.

ie all files and directories beginning with argparse in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages

Only after doing all this did I discover that I could have simply installed the python argparse rpm python-argparse that comes with both distributions.

ie yum install python-argparse
