    Add dependency on Python six · 3780c734

    Six is a module that provides a clean, standardized interface for
    handling python2 and python3 from the same code base. This adds a
    requirement on six as a build-time dependency, the plan is to use it
    only for python generators (those called during build time)
    
    While it certainly is possible to reimplement much of what six does
    scratch and not add another python dependency, I think it's better to
    just use six. For one thing a large number of python modules already
    depend on six, so the chances are good that most people already have it
    installed. Second, it's the de facto standard for supporting complex
    code bases in 2 and 3, so it's familiar and many of the corner cases
    have already been addressed.
    
    This adds the necessary cmake boilerplate to ensure that six is
    available. At this time I don't know of a specific version being
    required, but I am currently using 1.9.0
    
    v2: - update README with six dependency (Jordan)
