Cannot uninstall 'six'. It is a distutils installed project... about python-samples HOT 12 CLOSED

Try adding the flags --ignore-installed six to your pip command and let me know if that works.

Sorry, that should have been --ignore-installed with two dashes. Please try again.

@erickoledadevrel thanks for replying. i tried the following:

pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client -ignore-installed six oauth2client
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client-ignore-installed six oauth2client

Both give me an error:

'Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement google-api-python-client (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for google-api-python-client'

'Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement google-api-python-client-ignore-installed (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for google-api-python-client-ignore-installed'

that's solved it - thanks!

If you are working with pipenv, you can achieve this by editing your Pipefile with

six = {version = "*", options = "--ignore-installed"}
