How to install the Six module in Python2.7

I am using Python 2.7 and trying to use dateutil as follows:

from dateutil import parser as _date_parser

However, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#17>", line 1, in <module>
    from dateutil import parser as _date_parser
  File "C:\Python27\Lib\dateutil\parser.py", line 24, in <module>
    from six import text_type, binary_type, integer_types
ImportError: No module named six

Could you please let me know what is the six module for and how to get it installed in a Windows 7 machine?

Solution

  • You need to install this

    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six

    If you still don't know what pip is , then please also google for pip install

    Python has it's own package manager which is supposed to help you finding packages and their dependencies: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/
