Can't install this Python module (IMDbPY) because of El Capitan? (Deprecation?)

Question

So I'm trying to install IMDbPY with pip, but I'm getting the following warning in yellow font, followed by a bunch of warnings in red.

I've tried several commands to solve this and without luck. I've search for the warning in yellow (that starts with DEPRECATION) and have found a thread on Github detailing some changes with OS X El-Capitan and how the "six" package is affected, and I managed to install it independently, but it seems like IMDbPY still wants to uninstall for some reason?

Installing collected packages: six, sqlparse, decorator, Tempita, sqlalchemy-migrate, IMDbPY
  Found existing installation: six 1.4.1
    DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (six) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. This is due to the fact that uninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.
    Uninstalling six-1.4.1:
Exception:

Any help appreciated!

Answer 1

From anyone who is still interested on this, you can install it from source without any errors.

Pip or easy_install didn't work for me either on El Capitan (at least when I installed it).

You can get the latest zip package on http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/downloads.html#source-code.

I hope I helped.

Answer 2

If you use

pip install --user imdbpy

it will work. Did for me anyway.
