| 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. |
