[vtk-developers] SixPython version issue.

[Aron Helser]

Yes, it should be possible to upgrade to the newest version. I think that
Ben is working on taking out the third-party modules altogether, and having
the superbuild take care of getting the latest versions. When that is done
and you build your own, you will use a requirements.txt to install the
python dependencies, I think.

Aron
