ImportError: cannot import name wraps

I am getting an ImportError any time I run tests where I use mock. I’m using mock 1.3.0.

The error is ImportError: cannot import name wraps. It doesn’t seem that installing mock requires six in setup.py when it probably should. And if it requires a specific version of six (one that has a function called wraps) then it should specify that as well.

Looks like I’m not the only one with this issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31417964/importerror-cannot-import-name-wraps

Traceback:

perhaps print six.path

Ugh, that was the problem for me. I had six installed twice in:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ and in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/

After I removed the six from /usr/lib/ it worked fine: rm /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/*six*

@vitalybe I have the same issue with the two paths…
