Update six version requirement to >= 1.10, < 2.0

[DanielSwain]

Current version of six is 1.12. Being conservative by keeping less than 2.0.

[jpweytjens]

Closed by #292.

@jpweytjens #292 pins six to 1.12 rather than making it >= 1.12 and < 2.0 as proposed here. Are there any known issues with using newer versions? Is it feasible to switch to a range?

I'm interested in that as well. I'm not familiar with six, but if we could allow later releases (like >= 1.14) as well would help a lot. I would welcome to switch to the range mentioned by @mikebridge rather tan pinning it to a fixed version, if this is feasilbe.

@jpweytjens This is still an issue today is conflicting with newer versions of other packages

[jpweytjens]

@traverseda What's your opinion? I've heard arguments both ways with respect to pinning fixed versions, setting a range or keeping a dependency up to date.

Any updates on whether or not it's possible to use a later release of six?

These outdated fixed version dependencies really mess up installations and cause conflicts unnecessarily in an unparalleled manner - hardly seen elsewhere.
Better use >= or nothing (and < only by exception WHEN concrete knowledge of problems which cannot be fixed easily.)

I totally hear you on that. Thanks for the feedback. I obviously have not had too much time to maintain this package in a while. Would someone like to put together a PR to address this issue?
