TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases

[ghost]

After installing everything which was mentioned at https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup under Installation
I typed the following command yowsup-cli registration --help

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/yowsup-cli", line 6, in <module>
    from yowsup.env import YowsupEnv
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yowsup/env/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .env import YowsupEnv

TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases
    metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases

can somebody help me please?

Same error as reported in #2351, #2325 and #2259. Solutions include:

• Apply this PR: Fix compatibility with six >= 1.11; Fix import ProtocolTreeNode  #2379 (recommended)
• Using python3 instead (See TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases #2325 (comment))
• Patch setup.py to use six version 1.10
