Would it be worth using the newly-released abseil version of gflags directly, rather than importing a local copy: https://github.com/abseil/abseil-py/tree/master/absl/flags ?

The correct thing to do here is move off of gflags entirely, not carry your own copy of the ancient dead code at all. Use absl.flags from https://pypi.org/project/absl-py/.
