ImportError: cannot import name 'six'

[ivanprjcts]

django.utils.six has been removed from django development version:

django/django@4138481

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/corsheaders/init.py", line 1, in
from .checks import check_settings # noqa: F401
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/corsheaders/checks.py", line 8, in
from django.utils import six
ImportError: cannot import name 'six'

That's removed in Django 3.0. django-cors-headers supports Django up until 2.1 right now. 2.2 is in alpha and will be supported by the time it is released. Presumably you're installing Django from its master branch, this is a bad idea and something that this third party package, and most others, will never support.

Basically, change to installing Django 2.1 from PyPI, and don't worry that issue will be fixed by the time Django 3.0 is released.

I have the same problem! How to fix this?

[adamchainz]

Please upgrade to the latest version. It is fully tested with Django 3.0. If you’re still having errors there open a new issue with the exact trace back. Thanks.

I am also getting same error today after udgrading version of django to 3.0.0. Any idea how to solve it ?
I am currently using python 3.7.5 version with djanog 3.0.0.

I have checked in folder Lib\site-packages\django\utils and not found and six.py file but still from Lib\site-packages\jsonfield\encode.py containing line from django.utils import six, timezone which trying to import six but not able to find.

What version of Django-cors-headers are you using?

[ztolley]

Having same issue, using django-cors-headers version 3.2.0

[adamchainz]

@ztolley with exactly the same trace back? 3.2.0 shouldn’t be importing six.

Done more investigation, I think the problem actually comes from graphene-django.

Hello, have you been able to resolve the error?
If yes please help.

same issue

[baermathias]

There are several 3rd party packages, which use six and are now broken with Django 3.0 release. One way to solve the problem is to install six directly:

pipenv install six

Then identify the file, which uses six from django.utils (it is the last line before the error message, for me it was django_registration/validators.py) and change it from:

from django.utils import six

to:

import six

[adamchainz]

@baermathias your suggestion is dangerous. Don't edit the files in your installed packages.

Also please don't discuss packages other than django-cors-headers on this issue tracker.

@wiwek13 upgrade django-cors-headers. If the problem is another package, check there.

I'm locking this issue due to going off topic.
