Then something's wrong here:

$ python3
Python 3.9.1 (default, Dec 26 2020, 11:21:00) 
[GCC 5.5.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import six
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'

Stay well and Happy New Year,
