Six is a Python 2 and 3 compatibility library. It provides utility functions

for smoothing over the differences between the Python versions with the goal of

writing Python code that is compatible on both Python versions. See the

documentation for more information on what is provided.

Six supports Python 2.7 and 3.3+. It is contained in only one Python

file, so it can be easily copied into your project. (The copyright and license

notice must be retained.)

Online documentation is at https://six.readthedocs.io/.

Bugs can be reported to https://github.com/benjaminp/six. The code can also

be found there.
