And... after fixing that line, it blew up on another line somewhere in optparse.py. Apparently that lorax wasn't meant to be run on a stock 7.7 python install, oddly enough.



Dropping back to using a stock 7.6. We'll see how that goes. Next will be something with Anaconda undoubtedly....;-)

    Yep. Just doing that to get past it, and if I need to "downgrade" so be it...

    

    Thanks, just figured I'd check.

        I suspect the system I ran the compose with didn't have the 7.7 lorax 

        (and had the 7.6).  I'll take a look.  You can do a quick fix for now 

        and set `add_argument` to `add_option` and it should run for the moment.
