Answer 2

I did the following to solve the mentioned problem. I got the mentioned problem when I was trying to run the built exe, even I successfully built the exe using pyinstaller. I did this on Windows 10.

1. go to https://pypi.org/project/six/#files
2. download "six-1.14.0.tar.gz (33.9 kB)"
3. unzip it, copy and paste "six.py" into your source directory.
4. import "six" module into your source code (import six)
5. run source script.

Answer 3

On Ubuntu and Debian

apt-get install python-six

does the trick.

Use sudo apt-get install python-six if you get an error saying "permission denied".

Answer 4

You probably don't have the six Python module installed. You can find it on pypi.

To install it:

$ easy_install six

(if you have pip installed, use pip install six instead)

Answer 5

For Mac OS X:

pip install --ignore-installed six

Answer 6

In my case, six was installed for python 2.7 and for 3.7 too, and both pip install six and pip3 install six reported it as already installed, while I still had apps (particularly, the apt program itself) complaining about missing six.

The solution was to install it for python3.6 specifically:

/usr/bin/python3.6 -m pip install six
