python docker throws error: AttributeError: module 'six' has no attribute 'PY34'

Question

I'm writing a script which will build the docker image and then push the image to ECR. my current python version is

>python --version
Python 3.8.0

so, for some reason, at the first line while running my python at local, I'm getting below error. Saying this means, it has not yet build the image to push into the ECR.

import docker --> throws below error

Traceback (most recent call last):

    if six.PY34:
AttributeError: module 'six' has no attribute 'PY34'

six is already installed

Requirement already satisfied: six in c:\users\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\lib\site-packages (1.6.1)

it seems like it is intended for python 34 so for python 38, how can I solve this?

3.8. but my question is if I try to run the python script at local, it throws the error that six doesn't have attribute PY34. — change198, Dec 17 '19 at 10:49

Most probably the six version is not high enough, c.f. https://github.com/docker/docker-py/issues/2294

First check the six version:

import six
print(six.__version__)

If six version is not >=1.0.0, then upgrade six, on command line

python -m pip install -U six

With the latest pip, you should see this:

>>> import six
>>> six.__version__
'1.13.0'
>>> six.PY34
True

you are right, I had version 1.6.1. It had another python package dependency. So when I upgrade the six, I received ERROR: pystreams 0.6 has requirement six==1.6.1, but you'll have six 1.13.0 which is incompatible. But anyway, after the upgrade It is working. Thanks again. – change198 Dec 17 '19 at 10:57
Ouch `streams` looks painfully outdated, https://github.com/9seconds/streams 3-6 years without new commits. You shouldn't depend on that if it's not necessary =) – alvas Dec 17 '19 at 11:00
