python - Error No module named six

Question

I am new to Python/OpenCV.

I have the code below run in Python. But I got an error as shown below.

>>> from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#20>", line 1, in <module>
    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
  File "C:Python27libsite-packagesmatplotlib\__init__.py", line 105, in <module>
    import six
ImportError: No module named six

I followed what is being suggested in this post: ImportError: No module named six

I have downloaded six-1.8.0.tar.gz and unzip the file. I am wondering of is the next thing to do? I tried to run the six.py but I still got the same error.

Answer 1

You shouldn't need to download the tar.gz file. Instead run this at the command line (note, not the Python command line):

pip install six

And if that doesn't work, try:

easy_install six
