Unable to upgrade python six package in mac osx 10.10.2

Question

I am trying to install latest version of six python package but I have following issues. Can\'t get rid of six 1.4.1 in mac OSX 10.10.2

sudo pip install six          


        

Answer 1

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/
