ImportError: cannot import name viewkeys

I have python code that uses mechanize to login to a website. With six==1.4.1 and six==1.10.0, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This appears to similar to this post, except changing the version of six package didn't fix anything.

I'm also getting this error when trying to run Bikeshed

[jakearchibald]

I "fixed" it by doing

sudo pip install --ignore-installed six

I got the same problem and the same solution, thanks @jakearchibald ! (+@tabatkins FYI)

Thanks @jakearchibald. I had the same problem but when installing Bikeshed for the first time on OSX. Seems to be working now with your solution.

[tabatkins]

And I've updated the Bikeshed docs accordingly. Thanks!

This should already be fixed and is basically a duplicate of #301.

@Chronial Awesome--thanks!
