replace future with six #193

Can I convince you to use six instead of python-future for py2/py3 compatibility?

six seems to be the most popular solution to this, with equivalent names for your usage, and the other project has a few issues that will never be fixed and is annoying for me to have as a sub-dependency.

ran tests with py2 and py3 w/ pytest

Hi @caesar0301 and @liamlundy, any chance to review this PR?

python-future has been flagged as having a CVE (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-40899) and is seemingly not maintained. Implementing six seems to be a good option and is more popular from what I can see.
