Is argparse really required? #146

I'm having a funny issue with the argparse dependency and Python 3.

When the argparse library gets installed automatically in a python3.6.5 environment under linux (AWS non-ubuntu image, I believe it's fedora based) it replaces the stdlib one, causing problems (incompatibilities with code that relies on argparse).

I have no idea why this is happening under this environment, since it doesn't happen with ubuntu nor Mac OS, but right now my only option is to uninstall argparse right after it gets installed.

The library seems to work fine without it. Any ideas? Can we remove it?
