Six is not supported in Python3.12. Isn't it time to drop Python2 compatibility #88

Hi, in file six.py you are implementing "Utilities for writing code that runs on Python 2 and 3". Unfortunately this stops working for Python3.12. Debian (and probably other distributions) will move on to this or later Python3 versions which will break Ragout while Python 2.x is deprecated since years. Do you intend to drop compatibility Python 2.x and enable later Python3 versions? Kind regards, Andreas.

I've found a solution for this issue which is basically droping the code copy of six.py and replace ragout.six by just six in the import statements. There is a patch for the Debian package you might like to take over.
