Description

In 4.0 min six version is explicitly specified here

https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/6c8ab5b6b41830ac0d0ee381a7669b06ffd5b43a/pylib/requirements.txt#L5

but it is probably a typo: {{ six>=0.12.0 }}

and should be >=1.12.0, version that ensures that "ensure_text" is present:

see six PR: https://github.com/benjaminp/six/pull/204

It can lead to import problems with pylib and in effect to problems with the cqlsh tests. 

Proposed fix:

1. request six>=1.12.0 in pylib requirements.txt on all C* branches
2. request six>=1.12.0 in dtest requirements.txt 

 

C* versions before 4.0 does not specify six version at all, which I suspect can be also improved.
