Install on Mac - El Capitan Failed - "Operation not permitted"  #181

Description

@theonlydaleking

If you're attempting to install on el-capitan, you'll see something like this:

OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/tmp/pip-LRkhiJ-uninstall/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six-1.4.1-py2.7.egg-info'

This is because el-capitan already has six installed and won't let you uninstall it.

This worked for me instead:

sudo pip install newspaper --ignore-installed six
