I had installation of cmasher via: pip install cmasher and when I ran: pip install --upgrade cmasher I get the following error:

Installing collected packages: six, cmasher
  Found existing installation: six 1.10.0
Cannot uninstall 'six'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

Any suggestions?

I am using Python 3.6.1 and system: OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5

I went around six and upgraded cmasher like this:
pip install --upgrade cmasher --ignore-installed six
and it is working now.

Hi @rdzudzar,
it looks like six was installed using a different method than the normal pip method, either with conda or installed manually.
The best way to solve this issue (besides ignoring it) is to uninstall six using the method it was installed with, and then install six again using pip.
You can also check if six was installed using conda and upgrade it if so, by using conda upgrade six.

Yes, after six upgrade via conda, upgrade of cmasher does not result in error.
