six is a special case, as it is provides compatibility for scripts running
different versions of python. It is useful to be able to create 2 separate
packages though, a python2 version, and a python3 version (with different
package names), because you can have both installed at the same time. It
would be hard to do that with only one package with options, unless the
options changed the package name - which would then make it harder to
manage with tools.

Tim,

  Yes. I forgot that six is different from other python tools.

Regards,

Rich
