six_module—兼容python2与3的模块

http://six.readthedocs.io/ 详细的信息，请看document，里面详细介绍了python2和3之间的差别。·

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 every Python version since 2.6. 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 http://six.rtfd.org.
Bugs can be reported to https://github.com/benjaminp/six. The code can also be found there.

six : Six is a Python 2 and 3 compatibility library

Six没有托管在Github上，而是托管在了Bitbucket上，不过这些都不是重点，重点是它的作用。

众所周知 Python 2 和 Python 3 版本的分裂给 Python 开发者们带来了很大的烦恼，为了使代码同时兼容两个版本，往往要增加大量的代码。 于是 Six 出现了。正如它的介绍所说，它是一个专门用来兼容 Python 2 和 Python 3 的库。它解决了诸如 urllib 的部分方法不兼容， str 和 bytes 类型不兼容等“知名”问题。
