Which python version do you have installed there?

It seems python-argparse wasn't installed. Webmin should check for that package.

Good suggestion, I will add a check for that.

Hi, I am gett6ing the following error when trying to use LE

"The Python module argparse needed by the built-in Let's Encrypt client is not installed"

Argparse is not installed (that I can see anyway) so is this the same and has it been resolved yet?

Thanks Tim

The requirement to install python-argparse still exists - I just made the error message in Virtualmin friendlier.

Thanks Jamie.

I try to keep to software as supported by you guys so will the install of python-argparse be included in any future update? It doesn't seem to appear in the repo.

I'll update our installer to include it - however, on most newer Linux distributions it is there by default already. CentOS 5 is quite old!
