That is because you have no python-argparse package installed. Which does not appear to be available in your version of Debian. You *might* be able to get more up-to-date python with backports, but that may be difficult. Not sure.
Which probably does get you back to a usb stick. Which very lean distributions will work, I am not sure.

Going to take another look at the site to see if I got the right tar.

Chirp does not need compiling, just download tarball and unpack. Enter the directory where unpacked and run ./chirpw

Yup... I guess I left out the most important fact responsible for the error message, which is the OS on the NetBook is Debian Squeeze v6, to which doing a major update to is not an option. Have tried installing the latest version of Chirp under that, but there are just too many errors in compile making that not feasible. And since there is no .Deb distribution package available, compiling source is the only option.
That was my main reason for becoming interes ted in a LiveBoot application on a USB stick, to bypass all that hassle.
I have managed to create the Ubuntu based TharPuppy stick to boot from, so now perhaps I'll be able to install the latest version of Chirp for Ubuntu. And the problem would be solved...
I was thinking that if someone here had built a RAM boot/run image specifically for (with) Chirp, it might save me some time. Shame on me for wanting to save time, and not duplicate efforts done by another already...
I'll just schlog along on my own and see how things turn out.
