remove Python2 crumbs

[a-detiste]

Hi !

I saw this new package in Debian today popping up in my QA list.

Here's a cleanup of Python2 code.

@emollier : please remove python3-six dependency when a new release is published, or I'll do if I notice first

Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for your QA work, I'll try to not forget about the python3-six package once removed upstream; I left a Fixme item in the d/control file so lintian will ring some alarm bells for me when the time will come.

Have a nice day, :)
Étienne.

I discoverd this feature :-) (checking only "Release")

But messing with UDD & postgres is fun too

lgtm, thanks!

uh, seems I was a little too fast with my approval...

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and doing a lot of the work to clean it up. There appear to be a few issues with iterating on a single type (see inline comment).

I'd also love to see this PR split into multiple commits if it's not too much trouble. For example, the changes in setup.py could be their own commit.

I understand if you don't have time to work on this and perhaps this was meant as a quick patch to make the project buildable for the distro and bring it up to date a bit, so let us know and we can take it from here if necessary.

I'm out for the day :-) You can merge as-is if you like it of course. six.ensure_str() & six.ensure_text() are always bit more complicated to replace.

I on Holliday for one week. Do you still need my help before merging this ?

Hi @a-detiste, just enjoy your holidays :)
Let me poke @achilleas-k to draw his attention to this pr again.
Thanks again.
