Relax version constraints for six and dateutil.

jezdez commented 5 years ago

Replaces #14.

Six and python-dateutil are often depended on in other libaries, which means pinning their version in memsql-python is an issue during installation when using pip and effectively prevents your users to follow best practices to stay up-to-date with updates -- at least for minor releases.

Since six is very stable (maintained by Python core devs) and dateutil has a very clear change history I suggest to:

remove version constraint on six completely
relax version constraint on dateutil to <3.0
configure Travis to automatically run the tests every day with their cron jobs to catch API inconsistencies introduced by minor versions (if at all)

What do you think?

Thanks jezdez, will land today and test everything out with MemSQL proper before shipping a new release. Also, will remove 2.6 compat (totally agree with you there) and setup a nightly test run.
