Using python 3.12.1 on z/OS UNIX. Using a venv to install various libs. Google chromium depot tools uses python and six to get code from a git repo.
TODO: This was originally written for the six github issues tracker.
- python 3.12.1
- six 1.16.0 (six-1.16.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl.metadata)
- z/OS
The explicit problem is that python fails to resolve six.moves.

- Force reinstall of six
$ pip install --ignore-installed six- This was an attempt to ensure it was pulling fresh and not from cache.

- Force install fresh and not cached
$ pip install --ignore-installed six- Each time, I noticed it was installing a cached version. I attempted this syntax but it still installed from cache

- Attempt to use six.moves from urllib3
$ pip install urllib3
- Remove
~/.cache- Removing
~/.cachewas the only sure method for installing modules without using cached versions.

- Modifying/Creating
PYTHON_EXECUTABLE- This was a hit with Chromium in search terms, but this might be something used by CMake

Ensure a pristine setup
$ rm -rf ~/.cached venv
xxx@yyy zzz (main)
$ python3 --version
Python 3.12.1
xxx@yyy zzz (main)
No need to uses options on pip install since venv and .cached are removed.
$ python -m venv venv
xxx@yyy zzz (main)
$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv) xxx@yyy zzz (main)
$ python -m pip install -U pip
Requirement already satisfied: pip in ./venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages (23.3.2)

On z/OS UNIX,
typeis the equivalent ofwhichon linux. -
NOTE: This simplified process has six.modules import working. There is hope! Something must be amiss with depot_tools.
