Summary: My Openstack CLI clients stopped working, this is how I fixed them
---
A quicky, possibly note to self. The other day I ran `nova list` and
instead of getting a list of the instances in my lab I got:
Traceback (most recent call last):

if six.PY2:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PY2'
A bit of DDGing did not reveal anyone else having this problem. A few
Python developers had come accross it, but the fixes were not really
relevant to me. The fix is quite simple though. Basically the Python
[Six](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six) module got corrupted somehow.
I am using Fedora 22, and which uses DNF as its package manager. This
depends on Six, so I had to do a reinstall of the module:
sudo dnf reinstall python-six
Fixed! I have no idea what caused it to break as I do not really pay
much attention on what is a fairly disposably workstation.
