Not able to run python manage.py shell

Question

I am not able to run python manage.py shell, I am getting the following exception:

[root@dd dase]# python manage.py shell
Error: cannot import name six

But six is installed on the server:

[root@dd dase]# python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jun 18 2012, 14:18:47) 
[GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import six
>>> six.__version__
'1.9.0'

Django Version:

[root@dd dase]# django-admin --version
1.2.7

Nothing in traceback:

[root@dd dase]# python manage.py shell --traceback
Error: cannot import name six

Could you please provide `python manage.py shell --traceback`? — pacholik, Sep 22 '15 at 14:46
See this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/8797685/538471 . Perhaps you have a file called six.py in your project root? — dan-klasson, Sep 22 '15 at 14:57
[The download django](https://www.djangoproject.com/download/) page doesn't have 1.2.7 as a supported version so is it an option to upgrade? otherwise, do you have more than one install of python on your machine? — Sayse, Sep 22 '15 at 15:22
@PauloPessoa and all: we can not because we have to test all our projects for new version. Without migration of django version, there is any solution? like insert path of six in any py file? — Joseph, Sep 22 '15 at 15:43
@PauloPessoa : Is there is any other-way to do this without changing django version? — Vivek Sable, Sep 23 '15 at 06:21

Could be a package you have installed that's trying to use django.utils.six which became available in 1.4.2 (No module named six). Definitely upgrade your django version as given above.
