Answer 1

I think that you've probably encountered with version conflict problem in module six.

Try sudo pip install virtualenv to create an isolate python environment.

start

1. create your pelican path mkdir /path/to/pelican
2. go to /path/to/pelican and create an isolate python environment with virtualenv venv
3. activate virtualenv source venv/bin/activate
4. install pelican under the venv(without sudo!) pip install pelican markdown

done

and now you are free to any problem mentioned above. all the dependencies in the venv are isolated from the global environment.

To quit the venv, type deactivate
