when i tried to install netfilterqueue this error came up. even i can't uninstall/check/install using pip.
And i searched over the stackoverflow and one of those said use :

sudo pip install -U setuptools

And again this error came up.

  Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks in advance.

  • Which version of six you are using, you can check it by `pip freeze` command. 'ensure_str' is included in `six 1.12` and forward – Rahul Raut Aug 26 '20 at 04:41
  • try running `pip install six==1.12.0` or greater https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57251430/attributeerror-module-object-has-no-attribute-ensure-str/57262415#57262415 – Rahul Raut Aug 26 '20 at 04:43

I was able to make this work by copying six.py from https://github.com/benjaminp/six.git into /usr/lib/python3.8/six.py ... you'll need sudo to create or update this file.
