six 1.0.0 final finally released

I finally found time to release six 1.0.0. six is a Python 2 and 3 compatibility library. You can find the documentation and download it on PyPI.

There haven't been many changes since the beta: one bugfix and one new advanced feature. The bugfix is that unicode escapes are now properly decoded with the u() fake literal in both Python 2 and 3. The feature is that there is now an api for adding items to the "six.moves" interface. This was requested by ActiveState, which uses six in the ActivePython package manager.

Enjoy!

New version of six, lean and mean

I just released a new version a of six, my Python 2/3 compatibility library. The main feature in this release has that six has been flattened into one source file on the philosophy of "flat is better than nested" and for ease of distributing in projects. I've also switched from Bazaar to Mercurial, since the latter seems more popular and it's all the same to me. The issue tracker and source code is no on BitBucket.

I'm calling this version, 1.0.0 beta 1. Assuming no one complains, I think I'd like to release a final version in the next month or so.

Your feedback is appreciated.
