I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of six 1.1.0. six
is a small compatibility library for writing code that works on Python
2 and 3 without modification.

six 1.1 features several incremental improvements over 1.0. The
complete list of changes is:

- Add the int2byte function for converting an int of value less than
256 to a bytes object.

- Add compatibility mappings for iterators over the keys, values, and
items of a dictionary.

- Fix six.MAXSIZE on platforms where sizeof(long) != sizeof(Py_ssize_t).

- Issue #3: Add six.moves mappings for filter, map, and zip.


You can download six on PyPi:
