django-utils-six is a Python library (version 2.0) designed to provide forward compatibility for `django.utils.six` in Django 3.0 and later versions. `django.utils.six` was a Python 2/3 compatibility module bundled with Django, but it was removed in Django 3.0. This library fills that gap, allowing older third-party applications that still depend on `from django.utils import six` to function correctly without modification in Django 3+ environments. It is a niche compatibility layer with infrequent releases.
pip install django-utils-sixVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Install django-utils-six. This package automatically makes `django.utils.six` available, allowing third-party libraries that rely on this deprecated import to function on Django 3+ without modification. There is no typical direct code usage; its primary role is passive compatibility.
Install `django-utils-six` to restore the `django.utils.six` path, or upgrade affected third-party packages to versions compatible with Django 3+, or refactor custom code to remove `six` usage for Python 3-only projects.
For new projects targeting Python 3 exclusively, avoid `six` and refactor code to use native Python 3 features (e.g., `str` instead of `six.text_type`). For older projects, use this library as a temporary bridge while migrating away from `six`.
Prioritize updating or replacing third-party packages that depend on `django.utils.six`. If maintaining custom code, refactor `six` imports and usage to directly use `import six` (if necessary) or Python 3 constructs.
