AttributeError: 'Module_six_moves_urllib_parse' object has no attribute 'SplitResult'

The above error is what you get when doing 'import pyrax'. This is because setup.py incorrectly says that pyrax needs 'six' version 1.5.2, when in fact it needs a newer version than that. I think it might need 1.6. 1.8 definitely works.

I had the same issue which seems to be a bit of a problem over here too (may be useful in fixing) https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack/+bug/1316328

This fixed it for me:

sudo pip install six --upgrade

[sivel]

The dependency on six within pyrax is that it only needs at least six 1.5.2. However the dependency in python-novaclient/oslo.utils may be a higher version. Versions higher than 1.5.2 also meet the dependency of pyrax.

I had the same issue with duplicity 0.7 on ubuntu 14.04. I have six version 1.9 so an update didn't fix it.

The problem was that oslo.utils was installed (with pip) and the python-novaclient ubuntu package wasn't. Perhaps pyrax should have trigger an exception in this case ?

So I just had to install python-novaclient and it worked.

$ sudo apt-get install python-novaclient

I dealt with the same issue as @nikosnikos . Install the novaclient via system packages resolved the problem.

The same problem happens at the Juno version. Temporarily work around it in the same way as @nikosnikos.

For me I had to install both novaclient and glanceclient $ sudo apt-get install python-novaclient $ sudo apt-get install python-glanceclient

This can help someone else. To correct the problem I had to remove all the packages installed with pip and reinstall them with the package manager.

Test the module by importing it in the python shell.
