I'm trying to run lldb on my MacBook terminal, but I get errors related to the six package:
File "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Resources/Python/lldb/__init__.py", line 98, in <module>
import six
ImportError: No module named six
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
I tried to launch python from terminal and then execute import six, but still:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named six
Next step was to uninstall and reinstall six, but it seems like everything related to this package is corrupted for me:
$: pip uninstall six
Uninstalling six:

Proceed (y/n)? y

Name: six
Version: 1.4.1
Location: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python
Requires:
Python version: Python 2.7.15
Pip version: pip 1.5.6 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
Do you have any recommendations for me how to get rid of those errors and run lldb properly? I took someone's suggestion to install python again (simply brew install python), but it was not helpful.
I'm still not sure what the reasons for the errors were, but I could get rid of them after upgrading my python version and I'm just fine with that.
To install a new python version:
brew install python
Then, I removed the link at /usr/local/bin/python and set it again to the new version:
rm /usr/local/bin/python
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.0/bin/python3.7 /usr/local/bin/python
Then, installed six with the new version's pip:
python -m pip install six
(executing python -m enforces installing with the new pip, for the new python)
I'm not 100% cool with that solution, I still have to remove old versions to have a clean python installation, but at least I can work with lldb now, which was my main goal
