I can't install mate-menu from the aur

Hello everybody,
I want to install mate-menu from the aur but I got the following error:

   File "setup.py", line 25, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/setuptools/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
    from six import PY3, string_types
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'

Even though python-six is installed aswell as python-setuptools

What did I do wrong ?
Please help thanks

How are you trying to build the package, please post the commands and their full outputs.

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues

/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/?

Is the whole system that out of date, or is this a partial update situation?

pacman -Syu, get your machine up to date. Then start over.
Python is looking for a module named six. pacman -Si python-six

Even though python-six is installed aswell as python-setuptools

It's wanting python 3.7. I'm a month out of date and I have 3.8.1

Did you read the comments?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mate-menu/

Don't do any of that. Use something else. Or get the source/PKGBUILD and update it to work with uptodate. If an AUR package will not work with an uptodate arch, then don't use it. Fix the AUR package, don't mess up your install.

Edit:
When everything matches like it's suppose to after an update.

python
Python 3.8.1 (default, Dec 21 2019, 20:57:38) 
[GCC 9.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from six import PY3, string_types
>>> (10).as_integer_ratio()
(10, 1)
