Unable to upgrade python six package in mac osx 10.10.2


python macos pip six

I resolved the problem by the following method.

  1. Download the six-1.10.0.tar.gz package
  2. Use this command to install it.

python setup.py install

This works because it installs the new version of six to /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ which is searched before /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/

python macos pip six

Your pip binary belongs to /usr/local/bin/python, whereas python points to /usr/bin/python. As a consequence

pip install --upgrade six

will install to /usr/local/bin/python.

The command below will make sure that the right version of pip is used:

python -m pip install --upgrade six

python macos pip six

For me, just using homebrew fixed everything.

brew install python
