AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'next'

Came across this error while testing on my Ubuntu 12.02 LTS machine with a system install of six (version 1.1.0)

Traceback (most recent call last):

Perhaps we need to set a minimum version of six?

Seems like a good idea. Not sure where to set it -- probably 1.5.

Experimentally, 1.3 works fine. I think we should dial it back to reduce installation headaches (1.3 is what ships with the latest ubuntu).
