Pip: six issue installing jupyter

[nabinbhusal80]

• Pip version: 10.0.1
• Python version: 2.7
• Operating system: macOS Sierra

Description:

Cannot uninstall 'six'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

What I've run:

sudo pip install jupyter

Same issue for me.

This command works for me: sudo pip install jupyter --ignore-installed six

This is a duplicate of #4805.

If this is your personal development machine, I suggest you do a separate installation of Python (and not fiddle with the system Python installation).

I personally did brew install python and then brew link python, that's enough for my setup needs. :)

Feel free to close this issue if that resolves your concern/issue.

Closed due to lack of a response.
