django six 1.10.0 no module named http_client error

Question

I'm developing with Django 1.5.5 and I recently installed django-rest-framework and django-rest-auth. I had to upgrade my six installation from 1.6.0 to >1.9.0 to make it work, but now I'm getting this error:

Request Method:     GET
Request URL:    http://192.168.1.230:8080/
Django Version:     1.5.5
Exception Type:     ImportError
Exception Value:    

No module named http_client

Currently, Rest Framework requires Django 1.5.6+.

It isn't your install of six which is too old, it is the version of six that Django includes as django.utils.six.
