Error with python six module during boilerplate generation

Hello,

SInce several months, I have this error when creating a boilerplate :

Did you encountered this error ?

Thank you !

Such a nice project but couldn't even generate the setup.py file :-(

Hi Peter, Python-boilerplate is deprecated because it starts as a hack that grew out of proportions. I am working in the successor called "Jarbas", but it is still not functional. Anyhow, the program should work in Python3. Which version of Python and OS are you using? 2017-10-06 8:33 GMT-03:00 Peter Kilczuk <[email protected]>:

@fabiommendes What do you mean with "it starts as a hack that grew out of proportions"?
However, I'm having the same problem reported in this issue.

I think you should mark this project as deprecated if it is.

Thanks!
