Solution

You need to install this

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six

If you still don't know what pip is , then please also google for `pip install`

Python has it's own package manager which is supposed to help you finding packages and their dependencies: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/

Problem

I am using Python 2.7 and trying to use `dateutil` as follows: ``` from dateutil import parser as _date_parser ``` However, I get the following error: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#17>", line 1, in <module> from dateutil import parser as _date_parser File "C:\Python27\Lib\dateutil\parser.py", line 24, in <module> from six import text_type, binary_type, integer_types ImportError: No module named six ``` Could you please let me know what is the `six` module for and how to get it installed in a Windows 7 machine?
