depends on argparse, but not in requirements

I was trying this as non-root on CentOS 6. My admins installed easy_install for me, and I tried the following:

 # become application account
 sudo su - <application_owner>

 # setup for easy_install --prefix
 mkdir -p python/bin
 mkdir -p python/lib/python2.6/site-packages
 export PYTHON_PATH=$HOME/python/lib/python2.6/site-packages
 export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/python/bin

 # install pip and pyp2rpm
 easy_install --prefix=$HOME/python pip
 easy_install --prefix=$HOME/python pyp2rpm

The last command failed, but worked after I first installed argparse. I would never have ran into this without starting from scratch like this!
