How did you install gcloud-python?

You could try pip install --upgrade six since it looks like you may be using an older version of `six.

Let me know if that changes anything!

If you are on Mac OS X you may not be able to upgrade six

Yes, i am on Mac os X,but i have already upgrade six package，it still not working,it is great on linux

Apple both locks down the system installed six package and puts that same package on your import path in front of where you've installed it. Run

$ python -c 'import six; print(six.__file__)'

to see where it is actually getting imported from and you'll see the problem
