this function only deviated in the case of python 2, so I removed it.

lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/support/seven.py
12

this function was not used externally, so I inlined it into get_command_output.

27

this was also not used.

this function had a parameter named str, which shadowed builtin.str. As a fix, in this file I renamed all variables named str to string.

I left third_party/Python/module/six, in case there are any lldb scripts that depend on the existence of six.

Very cool! Thanks for taking care of this! LGTM with the 2 comments and assuming the test suite runs fine :)

lldb/examples/python/scripted_process/scripted_process.py

nit: no need to specify metaclass=ABCMeta, it can just be ScriptedProcess(ABC)

194

ditto

lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/lldbtest.py
2275–2278

nit: If you feel like it, may be you can split everything related to the str-> string refactor into a separate since it's orthogonal to removing six

disregard this comment, that's actually the way to do it ...

I need to at least make the str -> string rename in the functions where the refactor involves isinstance(..., str). I will remove the other renames, for another diff.

Restore some "str" variable names

@mib the tests pass on my machine.

Missed a restore of str variable name

There is also a cmake var LLDB_USE_SYSTEM_SIX which can be removed.

@DavidSpickett I removed LLDB_USE_SYSTEM_SIX but left the code that copies vendored copy of six.py. Is this what you had in mind? My thinking is there might be lldb scripts that use six, and I don't want the removal of internal use of six to be a breaking change downstream, not yet anyway.

I hadn't considered user scripts good point.

If you were using this option, you'd now get a warning from cmake that it's value was unused. Would it make more sense to have a proper deprecation warning and remove it and the copy of six at some later point?

Please land this change minus the LLDB_USE_SYSTEM_SIX stuff though. I don't want to block the rest on this.

Restore LLDB_USE_SYSTEM_SIX
