Error using pelican-quickstart "No module named html_parser"

I decided to give pelican a try, but when I run pelican-quickstart, I get the following dialog:

$ pelican-quickstart
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pelican-quickstart", line 9, in <module>

There was a similar error message in this post, and since I'm running Python 2.7.6 on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), there may be a similar issue.

What's the best way to address this?

Solution

  • You may need to install six.

    if you're using pip, try

    pip install six

    and then restart pelican-quickstart
