Description:
Hi,

Django in the the release 3.x remove support for Python 2, some APIs bundled get removed, including six.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/#removed-private-python-2-compatibility...

The mysql-connector-python try to import six from django.utils
https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-python/blob/master/lib/mysql/connector/django/bas...

How to repeat:
Start any django 3.x project with mysql.connector.django as DB ENGINE.

Suggested fix:
Use global six
