Cannot uninstall 'six'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

When installing tld module getting error of cannot uninstall existing 'six' module.

If you're getting above error, then try the following command to install six-1.11.0 and tld-0.9.

$ pip install tld --ignore-installed six --user

$ pip install tld --ignore-installed six --user

I had the same issue installing pytest... seems is related to mojave osx... I´ve fixed it by doing:

• brew update
• sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /
• brew reinstall python@2
