No module named six

Question

After installing transifex and ./manage.py the following error shows up:

Error: No modules named six.

Python Six is installed in the virtualenv (from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six) Django Version is 1.4

Any help would be great! thx & best regards Michael

Are you sure you're in your virtual environment when you get the error. Plus, what task did you use? — J. Ghyllebert, Apr 19 '13 at 08:31
Can you try opening a Python shell in the virtualenv, and running `import six` ? — pistache, Apr 19 '13 at 08:33
Could it be that something is attempting to import `django.utils.six`, but it is only present in Django >= 1.5? — Jim Garrison, Apr 19 '13 at 08:37
already done. if i open the shell there is the correct link to six -> — Michael Brueckler, Apr 19 '13 at 08:40
@J. Ghyllebert: yes, in the virtenv i try to initialy start the transifex server with ./manage.py txcreatedirs — Michael Brueckler, Apr 19 '13 at 08:44
@jim: that no option, in django 1.5 the verify_exists parameter is deprecated. transifex won't work without it ;( — Michael Brueckler, Apr 19 '13 at 08:52
In case six is stored under the wrong Python version, see my [kludge][1] [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26859356/error-no-module-named-six — Prune, Sep 03 '15 at 22:39

django.utils.six is added in Django 1.4.2, see

hi, thanks but this isn't working. just found, that transifex is only working with django 1.3.1. so i installed django 1.3.1, but the same error. also "import six" in the python shell has no effect... – Michael Brueckler Apr 19 '13 at 17:35
can you post traceback, ie ``./manage.py validate --traceback`` – bmihelac Apr 19 '13 at 19:21
hi. same error, it just says: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/transifex-1.2.1-py2.7.egg/transifex# ./manage.py validate --traceback Error: cannot import name six – Michael Brueckler Apr 22 '13 at 06:46

Traceback shows that ``django_filters`` raises exception. Django-filters requires Django 1.4.5+, maybe you can try to install some older version – bmihelac Apr 24 '13 at 18:35

sir, you are the man of the week ;). with an olde version of django-filters (0.5.1) it is working!. thank you – Michael Brueckler Apr 25 '13 at 07:29
Glad it helped. Traceback can help you to identify where the problem arises. – bmihelac Apr 25 '13 at 08:43

I've just had the same problem. Seems like the dependencies in the transifex package are not listed correctly (it depends on Django == 1.3.1 and django-filter >= 0.1, but django-filter 0.6 depends on Django >= 1.4.5).

I solved by installing an older version of django-filter (0.5.4), NOT by using the package provided in pypi (seems that on pypi there are only 0.6 and 0.1 versions), but directly by downloading the release 0.5.4 from here:

https://github.com/alex/django-filter/releases

and then installing with the usual:

python setup.py install

For the record: these are all transifex dependencies I've to manually install (after uninstalling the versions automatically installed by pip) because those installed automatically where not correct: django-filter==0.5.4 django-haystack==1.2 django-piston==0.2.2 — Augusto Destrero, Jul 08 '13 at 10:42
