This is not a bug in the argparse module.

The deprecation warning is because the software using the module is
passing a version= argument to the ArgumentParser() method when it is
creating the parser instead of using the parser.add_argument method to
create a version option.

For more information, see section 15.4.6 of the standard library
documentation for python 2.7 [1], which also applies if using argparse
with python 2.6.
