Greetings @vgali7 and thanks for the contribution! I restarted the test run as requested by @bschoening; we'll see if we can reliably reproduce the test failures we saw before.

@absurdfarce Hey I just wanted to check that this looks good and is ready to commit, thanks! I have some further updates to remove obsolete 'six' compatibility but wanted to get this committed first.

Hey @vgali7, apologies for not getting back to you sooner. We're in a rush to address some end-of-quarter updates so I haven't taken a look at this in detail yet. I should have more time to look it over in the early part of August.

Thanks for your patience!

Hey @vgali7, thanks for all the work on this!

It looks like all the changes in here have been merged into #1172 which removes six support as well. Since that PR is a superset of the work done here it probably makes sense to move forward with that. I would encourage you to review (and add comments to) that PR so that we can give it the vigorous review this subject requires.

Thanks again!
