Do you get any errors above that line? Paste from the traceback lines.

Try installing it manually from here

I get a similar error when installing on a clean Debian 8.0, using Python 2.7.

    Installed /tmp/pip-build-Mw0oTs/protobuf-to-dict/protobuf-3.0.0b4-py2.7.egg
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 17, in <module>

        dist = working_set.find(req)

        raise VersionConflict(dist, req)
    pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (six 1.8.0 (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages), Requirement.parse('six>=1.9'))
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

It seems that the 1.9 version of six package is not being installed for some reason, I guess a dependency is missing somewhere but when adding to requirements.txt it makes no difference (I am not too familiar with python and its installation system). Anyways installing that version manually using

sudo pip install --upgrade six==1.9

before running

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

solves the problem.

It seems to be a issue related to protobuf-to-dict, but actually a version conflict of six.

The final solution is to uninstall the six by

 pip uninstall six

And then run the

pip install -r requirements.txt 

it will install everything without any errors.
