pip install six solves this but imo need to be placed on readme

If you install this package with pip this is taken care of for you. How did you get flashfocus installed? The readme documents pip install flashfocus to install from pypi. (I haven't tried, but I would also imagine you could clone, cd into the cloned directory, and then pip install . or pip install -e .)

These are all pretty standard ways of getting a python tool working, and I'm not sure that any more docunentation is really necessary (especially if someone is avoiding installing from pypi), but I've got no real say in the project.

I appreciate you opening the issue but I'm with @bbenne10 that this doesn't warrant any further action. xcffib also seems to declare the dependency appropriately.

i did install using pip install flashfocus for that reason i opened the issue

edit my distro is voidlinux

Maybe related to pypa/setuptools#1042 (bug in setuptools v36)? Regardless this is unlikely to be an issue with flashfocus since it doesn't directly require six. Luckily this seems to be easily fixed by reinstalling six so closing for now. Thanks again!

Interesting. I had assumed you'd have installed using a git clone without using pip.

I'm running void at home as well. Once I get home I'll try to install and see how it goes. Considering voidlinux's more "cutting edge" rolling release idea, I doubt you've got setuptools <= 36 any longer.

If I can dig up more information that points here (or even is interesting), I'll post it here.
