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

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
