PicklingError via argparse on win32/win64

Cotyledon author remarks: "To support windows all objects passed to children process must support Pickle. Your application seems the pass some argparse objects to children. More generally master process should do a very minimal works."

My application's code doesn't use argparse, but we do use pbr, and pbr *does* import argparse.

Even here, it might be out of pbr's hands if this is the object in question:

Is anyone else experiencing this with pbr on win32/win64?
