Include six in misc deps distribution

[josephsl]

Hi,

As part of porting NVDA to Python 3 (#7105), at least two dependencies requires use of six compatibility layer:

• ConfigObj 5.x.y (Upgrade to ConfigObj 5.x.y #4470)
• wxPython 4.0.0 (Upgrade to wxPython 4.0.0 #7077)

As noted in #7077, six comes with wxPython 4. Thus I propose that we include six package once wxPython 4 is ready, or add version 1.10.0 of this package into misc-deps until wxPython 4 is ready. My preference is for the former (I'll use the latter while porting NVDA source code to Python 3).

Thanks.

Hi,

Could you give some examples of why six helps in porting that are specific to NVDA's code base?

Hi, although we won’t be using six in NVDA code directly, some dependencies requires this such as ConfigObj and wxPython 4. Thanks.
