Gmail API Quickstart AttributeError in Python

Question

I'm trying to learn Gmail API with Python using Mac OSX.

I have a standard problem for this OS: the default installation of the "six" module is loaded before the one that pip installed. Google's solution(at the bottom of the page) or this answer don't work.

When I tried to perform Google's one, I haven't found file

~/.bashrc

on my computer, but I created that and tried to change PATH in both

~/.bash_profile

and

~/.bash_profile.pysave

. It still doesn't help.

What should I do to run the quickstart example on my OS X 10.11.3 with Python 2.7.10 or 3.4.4?

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "quickstart.py", line 76, in <module>

    main()

    credentials = get_credentials()

    credentials = tools.run_flow(flow, store, flags)

    parts = urllib.parse.urlparse(uri)

AttributeError: 'Module_six_moves_urllib_parse' object has no attribute 'urlparse'
