 - `test_client` and `tests_unit` use mock server interaction and do not require a Flow Production Tracking instance to be available (no modifications to `tests/config` are necessary).
 - `test_api` and `test_api_long` *do* require a Flow Production Tracking instance, with a script key available for the tests. The server and script user values must be supplied in the `tests/config` file. The tests will add test data to your server based on information in your config. This data will be manipulated by the tests, and should not be used for other purposes.
 - To run all of the tests, use the shell script `run-tests`.

 The version of `mimetypes` bundled should be updated manually if necessary, however it is unlikely this will be needed, as it is only used for Python versions 2.7.0 - 2.7.9, and newer Python versions simply use the native `mimetypes` module.
 
-### six
-
-Six is a Python 2/3 compatibility library.  In python-api, it's used to make simultaneous support for Python on 2 and 3 easier to maintain and more readable, but allowing the use of common helper functions, unified interfaces for modules that changed, and variables to ease type comparisons.  For more on six, see the [documentation](https://six.readthedocs.io/).

-`sgsix` is a module that contains extensions to `six`.  These might be additional helper functions, variables, etc. that supplement six's functionality.  It is intended that `sgsix` can be used within other packages that include or depend on the `python-api` package as well.
