Hi,

I ran into a known issue, but thought I'd post it here in case others run into it. The problem is with uninstalling the python package six. The issue is discussed here:
pypa/pip#3165

I will probably install python using homebrew and/or use virtualenv.

El Capitan 10.11.4
pip 8.1.1 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

The error:

~ 62 $ sudo -H pip install cycli
....
Installing collected packages: six, wcwidth
  Found existing installation: six 1.4.1
    DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (six) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. This is due to the fact that uninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.
    Uninstalling six-1.4.1:
