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

What worked for me was to use easy_install instead of pip.

easy_install -U six

Easy_install managed to upgrade the package even when pip failed.
