Six: Python 2/3 compatibility helpers

Increasingly, I've seen a movement towards supporting Python 2 and Python 3 in the same code base. Having ported a few projects myself, I decided to collect the code I've duplicated between them into a library. The result is six. It includes fake byte and unicode literals, b() and u() and has wrappers for syntax changes such as print and exec. You can check out the documentation on PyPi.The license is MIT, so I hope it can see wide use in projects planning to support Python 2 and 3 simultaneously.

Great article! Six has been a lifesaver when working on projects that need to maintain compatibility between Python 2 and 3. It's amazing how such a lightweight library can handle the complexity of differences between the two versions. From handling different standard library modules to managing text and binary data, Six simplifies the migration process and helps keep the codebase clean. For anyone working with legacy systems or gradual upgrades, this is a must-have tool. Thanks for breaking down the key aspects so clearly!
