Installing Tweepy With Pip

I am trying to install tweepy with the pip command pip install tweepy however it is coming up with the error DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (six) has bee

Solution 1:

Since you tagged python-3.x my guess is that you also have python 3 installed and want to use that instead. The pip command by default, is used to install package for python-2.7 which is included with mac, but you do not have permission to modify library six for the built in python 2. So you should type this instead for python 3 pip:

pip3 install tweepy

if you are actually trying to install tweepy to python 2, then you should include the option --ignore-installed six which is required when installing packages that needs six since the included six module doesn't work fluently. So you should type the command which ignores the included six and install a new one overriding it:

pip install tweepy --ignore-installed six
