I checked that I have already installed urllib3 and six.

$ python -m pip install --upgrade --user urllib3
Requirement already up-to-date: urllib3 in /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (1.24.1)

$ python -m pip install --upgrade --user six    
Requirement already up-to-date: six in ./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (1.12.0)

What am I missing?

For future generations, since this is the first hit in Google: I just saw this same issue. Root cause for me was that CentOS was trying to “unbundle” six and replaces the file with a symlink (https://git.centos.org/rpms/python-urllib3/blob/c8/f/SPECS/python-urllib3.spec#_85). At some point six must have been uninstalled from the system by something other than dnf/yum, which broke the packaging. Reinstalling the six package un-breaks things.
