Answer 1

You probably don’t have the six Python module installed. You can find it on pypi.

To install it:

$ easy_install six

(if you have pip installed, use pip install six instead)

Answer 2

On Ubuntu and Debian

apt-get install python-six

does the trick.

Use sudo apt-get install python-six if you get an error saying “permission denied”.

Answer 3

If pip “says” six is installed but you’re still getting:

ImportError: No module named six.moves

try re-installing six (worked for me):

pip uninstall six
pip install six

Answer 4

on Ubuntu Bionic (18.04), six is already install for python2 and python3 but I have the error launching Wammu.
@3ygun solution worked for me to solve

ImportError: No module named six

when launching Wammu

If it’s occurred for python3 program, six come with

pip3 install six

and if you don’t have pip3:

apt install python3-pip

with sudo under Ubuntu!

I did the following to solve the mentioned problem. I got the mentioned problem when I was trying to run the built exe, even I successfully built the exe using pyinstaller. I did this on Windows 10.

go to https://pypi.org/project/six/#files
download “six-1.14.0.tar.gz (33.9 kB)”
unzip it, copy and paste “six.py” into your source directory.
import “six” module into your source code (import six)
run source script.

Answer 8

In my case, six was installed for python 2.7 and for 3.7 too, and both pip install six and pip3 install six reported it as already installed, while I still had apps (particularly, the apt program itself) complaining about missing six.

The solution was to install it for python3.6 specifically:

/usr/bin/python3.6 -m pip install six

Answer 9

For me the issue wasn’t six but rst2pdf itself. head -1 $(which rst2pdf) (3.8) didn’t match python3 --version (3.9). My solution:

pip3 install rst2pdf

Answer 10

Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver):

apt --reinstall install python3-debian
apt --reinstall install python3-six

If /usr/bin/chardet3 fails with error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pkg_resources’":

apt --reinstall install python3-pkg-resources

Answer 11

six is a Python module. The python command may refer to Python2.

It is possible that you are confusing Python2 and Python3, or that you confused the Python version number this module applies to. six for Python2 is distinct from six for Python3.

If installing six still does not work via pip, consider running Python3 instead.

Answer 12

For Ubuntu and Debian

Try to execute the following command-

 sudo apt install python-six

If it’s not working perfectly then try to force it by using the following command-

/usr/local/bin/pip3 install six

I hope it works!
