title: How can I get argparse in Python 2.6?
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>I should have clarified that the ideal solution would be something that does not require module installation.</p>
