I followed your advice and checked out why I have six version 1.5.2....
It looks like six 1.5.2 is the version that Ubuntu 14.04 ships with (at least
the desktop x64 version).
I downloaded the most recent version of Ubuntu desktop from their website and
made a bootable USB with it.
I booted up Ubuntu from the USB and in the terminal did this:
$python
...
>>>import six
>>>six.__version__
'1.5.2'
Then I made a clean install of Ubuntu on to my hard drive and booted to that.
The same version was present.
So, of course the next step is to do apt-get update and upgrade. Still 1.5.2.
I guess the question now is whether this is the version of six that is supposed
to come packed with Ubuntu or not.
After looking for solutions online I discovered the 'apt-cache policy' command
which seemed useful. Here's the output:
donald@Beast:~$ apt-cache policy python-six
python-six:
Installed: 1.5.2-1
Candidate: 1.5.2-1
Version table:
*** 1.5.2-1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Based on what I found on the launchpad website
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/six) this seems to be the right version
of six
for Ubuntu 14.04. But if that is the case, then I would think a lot more
people would have the same problem as I do. Unless there is a simple work
around that I don't know about. I find it unlikely that I'm the first person
to try to install pycuda on Ubuntu 14.04.
Are there any other suggestions/hints/helpful ideas??
