Installation fails due to conflicting six version

[NeolithEra]

Hi, users are unable to run modbus-simulator due to dependency conflict with six package. As shown in the following full dependency graph of modbus-simulator, modbus-simulator requires six==1.10.0，while pymodbus==2.1.0 requires six==1.11.0.

According to pip’s “first found wins” installation strategy, six==1.10.0 is the actually installed version. However, six==1.10.0 does not satisfy six==1.11.0.

Solution

Fix your direct dependency to be six==1.11.0. I have checked this revision will not affect your downstream projects now.

@dhoomakethu May I submit a PR to solve this issue?

Error

ERROR: Cannot install -r requirements (line 1) and six==1.10.0 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested six==1.10.0
    pymodbus 2.1.0 depends on six==1.11.0

Solution

We analyze your project according to the call graph, and now give you the following suggestion, loosen your direct dependency to be six==* . I have checked that this version will not affect the normal operation of your program
