stacked-up example is not working after install

[fchirigati]

When running the runserver script:

 * Starting PostgreSQL 9.5 database server
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./manage.py", line 7, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management
 * Stopping PostgreSQL 9.5 database server

This is caused by an error while installing the dependencies from stacked-up:

==> default:   Downloading six-1.2.0.tar.gz

This is why we have the Box and ReproZip :wink: Dependencies break.

It looks like setuptools updates six while it depends on it, and crashes?

[remram44]

So stacked-up depends on six==1.2.0 (in requirements.txt) while setuptools & pip use six 1.10. pip downgrades six as requested then becomes broken. Changing the requirement to six>=1.2.0 might be enough (then we rely on six's backwards compatibility...)

This seems to work in the pre-built VM on OSF, so I'll mark this as "rotten".
