ImportError: cannot import name six #103

Sopor · 2015-11-13T19:07:41Z

When i run 'tx' i get this error message.
I did clone it and run 'python setup.py install'
Ubuntu 14.04.3
Python 2.7.4
Six 1.5.2

$ tx
Traceback (most recent call last):

Can you check what version of urllib3 you have?

Sopor · 2015-11-13T22:17:07Z

1.7.1

diegobz · 2015-11-13T22:24:11Z

It looks like you should be fine:

https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/blob/1.7.1/urllib3/packages/six.py

Have you installed urllib3 from Ubuntu packaging? Maybe they drop the six.py from packages?

If this is true I would advise you to create a virtual environment and runpip install -r requirements.txt in order to get the correct package for now.

Sopor · 2015-11-13T23:17:37Z

First i tried 'easy_install --upgrade pip' and then 'pip install urllib3 --upgrade' and i got this message...

...and when i then tried to run 'tx' again it worked :)

thx, I run 'pip install urllib3 --upgrade' and this was ok.

schildbach · 2016-05-12T18:55:13Z

Got this problem on Ubuntu 16.04. My versions are:

transifex-client                        0.11.1+git15~g655c5e9-1
python-urllib3                          1.13.1-2
python3-urllib3                         1.13.1-2

I'm installing everything from the Ubuntu repos, so no "pip install" for me.

gunchleoc · 2016-06-14T13:06:17Z

I have the same problem. I managed to fix it somehow on my Ubuntu machine a while ago, but I don't remember what I did and I have difficulty with finding the information again.

The system I am using right now is Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64 bit on VMWare for Windows.

Command and output log:

ImportError: cannot import name six

The packages are owned by the OS, so I tried:

 $ sudo apt-get install python-six

python-six ist schon die neueste Version.

 $ sudo apt-get install python-urllib3

python-urllib3 ist schon die neueste Version.
python-urllib3 wurde als manuell installiert festgelegt.
0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 0 nicht aktualisiert.

The German-language output means "already on the newest version", so nothing is being done.

Please let me know if you need any version information for the python libs - since this will be another research project, I'd rather wait until I know that you actually need them.

kouk · 2016-06-14T16:08:01Z

@gunchleoc could you try the commits in this PR? https://github.com/transifex/transifex-client/pull/124/commits
you can do pip install -e git+https://github.com/transifex/transifex-client.git@8c3358d2689ef8a8ce4a6a038873325c0982cbbb#egg=transifex_client for example.

gunchleoc · 2016-06-14T16:29:38Z

Thanks for your fast reply!

I ran the install code that you suggested, but the only effect is to make the error message shorter:

$ tx pull -a
ImportError: cannot import name six

kouk · 2016-06-14T16:37:17Z

@gunchleoc can you try with tx --traceback pull -a?

gunchleoc · 2016-06-15T08:26:33Z

Here's the output:

Sopor · 2016-06-16T21:14:54Z

I have also got it back... If i try to get the version out of tx i get this:

$ tx --version

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/tx", line 5, in <module>
    pkg_resources.run_script('transifex-client==0.11', 'tx')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 528, in run_script
    self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1394, in run_script
    execfile(script_filename, namespace, namespace)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/transifex_client-0.11-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/tx", line 10, in <module>

    from urllib3.packages import six
ImportError: cannot import name six

I then did what i did before: 'easy_install --upgrade pip' and then 'pip install urllib3 --upgrade' and it worked again

$ tx --version
0.11

Sopor · 2016-06-16T21:20:09Z

I also updated tx :)

$ tx --version
0.12.1

kouk · 2016-06-17T06:21:32Z

@gunchleoc if the workaround that @Sopor- mentions doesn't work you may want to try the updated code in #124 which depends directly on six instead of through urllib3.

kouk · 2016-06-17T06:23:38Z

@schildbach we will be releasing a new version of the client which simplifies these dependencies. Hopefully the package maintainers will update their package not long after that.

choldrim · 2016-08-31T03:16:44Z

pip install urllib3 --upgrade +1

gunchleoc · 2016-11-03T15:47:42Z

kouk's suggestion fixed it for me - I ran pip install -e git+https://github.com/transifex/transifex-client.git@5e9b769647d85b5183df75a05cbf36ce9d5ef30d#egg=transifex_client and it's working now :)

r10s · 2017-11-16T21:31:15Z

pip install urllib3 --upgrade did it for me, Ubuntu 16.04
