Import the function directly if it is a six.moves function otherwise
leave it specified as a six function that needs to be replaced in

    We don't want to only import six. That makes updating code down the road much harder, increases the chances of errors (we can't check for unimported references anymore), and just generally makes things more verbose. I don't really understand the reason for this change, but it's not the direction we want to take the codebase.

    This change is also trying to do too much. Some parts are changing how six imports work, others are moving things like unicode() and .iteritems() to six equivalents. That should be its own change.

    1. The idea is that the six library is a transitional library only as all references to six should be removed as soon as Python 2.7 support is dropped. This makes it an easy task to find all such references and remove them. As you said yourself in another review it makes them easy to grep.

      That said, only a handleful of the fixes are required.

    2. It should be, yes, but this change makes it harder to drop six. With the way we do six imports, we're typically using the name naming for classes/functions, and dropping Python 2.7 means just replacing the imports for most cases. This change makes that harder, since we now have to replace a lot more lines of code a lot more carefully, with less tool assistance.
