This file uses argparse. This feature was not added to Python until 2.7. I'm using Python 2.6. The INSTALL document says python >= 2.6 is needed. The simplest way to fix this problem is to update the INSTALL document to say "python >= 2.7". Does this sound like the correct solution? >>> >>> Thanks for the report.

I am not sure about libvirt-python. I think it might be possible to use Virt-manager with QEMU in emulation mode, without needing libvirt. _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
