Happy new year, everyone!

I've just released version 1.9.0 of the six library. 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.

Download it now from PyPI:
