setup.py on 4.9.1 won't run on latest raspbian os due to new python package

pi@PI4B1:~/weewx-4.9.1 $ python3 -c "import six; print(six.__version__)"

Searching for six.moves leads to suggestions to install or add the six modules, but all attempts at that fails for me (so far). I keep getting:

i@PI4B1:~/weewx-4.9.1 $ pip3 install six
error: externally-managed-environment

I have too many custom files in my setup to install a new weewx, I have to keep this version.  I had no idea after taking half a day to setup my pi4 with the latest raspberry pi os that it would lead to these problems. 

If you know I'm missing something please let me know, maybe just adding something to the current Python3 (Python 3.13.5) will fix this, but I can't seem to add the things needed by setup.py.

Here's my raspi os version:

pi@PI4B1:~ $ cat /usr/lib/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="13"
VERSION="13 (trixie)"
VERSION_CODENAME=trixie
DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.1
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"

pi@PI4B1:~ $

I have the one-wire working on the pi though, that's always been a problem in the past.

Anyone find a solution for this? 

Thank you!

sudo apt install python3-six

I am currently installing weewx 5 per latest install instructions. I'm pleased with how much easier it was to get owfs working with this Pi os version. 

I will have to deal with my modified skins/Seasons when I get to it.

Thanks for responding.

Please remove this post, I see that I cannot do it myself. This is no longer an issue, I've installed Weewx 5.2 and the only problem I'm having has nothing to do with this thread. 

Thank you.
