Scrapy throws ImportError: cannot import name xmlrpc_client

Question

After install Scrapy via pip, and having Python 2.7.10:

scrapy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/scrapy", line 7, in <module>
from scrapy.cmdline import execute
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/scrapy/__init__.py", line 48,  
in <module>
from scrapy.spiders import Spider
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/scrapy/spiders/__init__.py",    
line 10, in <module>
from scrapy.http import Request
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/scrapy/http/__init__.py", line   
12, in <module>
from scrapy.http.request.rpc import XmlRpcRequest
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/scrapy/http/request/rpc.py",  
line 7, in <module>
from six.moves import xmlrpc_client as xmlrpclib
ImportError: cannot import name xmlrpc_client

But I can import module:

Python 2.7.10 (default, Jun 10 2015, 19:42:47) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.53)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import scrapy
>>> 

What's going on?

I've just fixed this issue on my OS X.

Please backup your files first.

sudo rm -rf /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/six*
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six*
sudo pip install six

Scrapy 1.0.0 is ready to go.
