unexpected keyword argument 'allow_abbrev'

See original GitHub issue

Hello. I get this error everytime I try to launch yq with or without arguments (also the examples in in README.md don’t work).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yq", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('yq==2.7.2', 'console_scripts', 'yq')()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yq/__init__.py", line 119, in main
    parser = get_parser(program_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yq/__init__.py", line 96, in get_parser
    parser = Parser(**parser_args)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'allow_abbrev'

I am running into this issue now as well, ~~and to answer your question, they are very different.~~

I found the issue, an older version of argparse was installed as a standalone module and it was overriding with the built-in version.
