coursera-dl osx not running from the command line

Question

I am trying to run coursera-dl from the command line on OS X Mavericks.

The following is the output from the console:

     $ coursera-dl
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/local/bin/coursera-dl", line 5, in <module>
        from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 2603, in <module>
        working_set.require(__requires__)
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 666, in require
        needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
      File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 565, in resolve
        raise DistributionNotFound(req)  # XXX put more info here
    pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: six

I installed it using:

sudo pip install coursera-dl

For the record I have installed the required packages and python | coursera-dl are on my path.

Can anyone make a suggestion, for what I should do?

P.S. First question on Stackoverflow!

Solved! Here is what fixed it and the source I obtained the solution from.

$ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ sudo python distribute_setup.py
$ sudo rm distribute_setup.py
$ sudo easy_install pip
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
$ sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

I think this proves that with enough googling you can fix a lot of problems. Though I don't know why this worked, it has.
