Thanks for digging up the release of six. I've added the versioned dep
and released unittest2 1.0.1 which has that and only that fix in it.
Hopefully that will prevent the issue.

The late version object shim is fragile though, so its likely not to
work in many places - wheels will always be a better path forward for
installing it until I get around to some proper magic to fix the
version lookup stuff.
