[gtmanfred]

This is a problem with python2.6, The actual problem is that python2.6 does not have the argparse module built in like python 2.7.

Make sure to install python-argparse package on Centos 6.8.

[lhost]

python-argparse should be added as dependency for salt-minion package

[gtmanfred]

Salt does not use argparse, but genesis does. argparse should be a dependency on the genesis python module.
