We still want to support python2.6 and argparse was introduced in 2.7. 
If you'd like to convert the parser you should add the argparse module 
from https://code.google.com/p/argparse/ to the "external" dir and use 
an import like

try:
    import argparse
except ImportError:
    from rednotebook.external import argparse

Sooner or later we should definitely make the switch since argparse is 
much nicer to write and maintain.
