Fwd: Bug#651962: python-argparse redundant?

Hello Python Team,

Now that Python 2.7 is the default python interpreter, we can get rid off argparse.

Is there a process to follow or should I just request the FTP team for its removal?

When using a program that uses zope, I see the following error:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/zope/__init__.py:3: UserWarning: Module argparse was already imported from /usr/lib/python2.7/argparse.pyc, but /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages is being added to sys.path
  import pkg_resources

Sure enough, it looks like python2.7 and python-argparse are both
providing argparse.py, and in different locations:

servo:~ 0$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/python2.7/argparse.py
python2.7: /usr/lib/python2.7/argparse.py
servo:~ 0$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/argparse.py
python-argparse: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/argparse.py
servo:~ 0$ 

If argparse is being provided by python2.7, why is there a separate
argparse package?  Presumably one of these packages is installing the
module in the wrong place, which is why this conflict hasn't shown up
earlier.

Thanks.

jamie.
