Bundled six
-----------
The third-party python-six library exists to help projects create code that
runs on both Python-2 and Python-3. Ansible includes version 1.4.1 in
module_utils so that other modules can use it without requiring that it is
installed on the remote system. To make use of it, import it like this::
from ansible.module_utils import six
.. note:: Why version 1.4.1?
six-1.4.1 is the last version of python-six to support Python-2.4. As
long as Ansible modules need to run on Python-2.4 we won't be able to
update the bundled copy of six.
