It appears that the latest version in the Kali repos has a syntax error in the code with ACTION_TYPES_THAT_DONT_NEED_A_VALUE. Looking on https://github.com/zorro3/ConfigArgParse/blob/master/configargparse.py , I see
ACTION_TYPES_THAT_DONT_NEED_A_VALUE = {argparse._StoreTrueAction,
argparse._StoreFalseAction, argparse._CountAction,
argparse._StoreConstAction, argparse._AppendConstAction}
, but the line is not the same

This has been fixed with python-configargparse 0.9.3-0kali2 that I just uploaded and that will appear on mirrors in the next few hours.

The problem only happens if you have python 2.6 installed. It's due to the fact that the module only supports Python 2.7 and newer.
