17Six is a Python 2 and 3 compatibility library.  It provides utility functions
18for smoothing over the differences between the Python versions with the goal of
19writing Python code that is compatible on both Python versions.  See the
20documentation for more information on what is provided.
21
22Six supports Python 2.7 and 3.3+.  It is contained in only one Python
23file, so it can be easily copied into your project. (The copyright and license
24notice must be retained.)
