six.py is now included in the python3 branch.  At this point not everything
works (still a long way from it) but I see no showstopping issues that have
cropped up yet.  (By showstopping I mean something that would prevent
shipping a single codebase that works in 2.7 and 3.x.)

no reason those couldn't be reviewed and merged together.
