[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Operating System version: MacOS 10.13
• Firebase SDK version: 2.9.0
• Library version: 2.9.0
• Firebase Product: any

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

If you don’t already have python six installed, you can’t install firebase

Steps to reproduce:

pip install .

Relevant Code:

setup.py has: import firebase_admin and firebase_admin.__init__.py has import six so if it isn’t installed before installing the installation fails with:

        import six

Fair enough, but at least this is here if someone else needs to install from the latest, a git tag, a fork 😉 , etc and this is just a dependency

Install from source is a low priority for us. I think it’s fair to ask developers to run pip install -r requirements.txt before attempting that.
