Thanks, that's a good clue!

There's something messed up with my installation.  argparse is
installed per libpython3.7-minimal.  However if I simply start
python, then do a help(), it gives me a traceback.  Simpleminded
forced reinstallation of python3.7, libpython3.7 idle-python3.7 idle3 
libpython3-stdlib libpython3-minimal do not fix the problem :(

Will explore further...
  Thanks again...
