Library depends on six but doesn't declare it #911
Description
google.cloud.ndb has a runtime dependency on six (it's needed for import), but it's not declared as a dependency. Therefore, the library fails to import after installation into an empty environment.

It's really ridiculous!
Yesterday I deployed my website on google cloud and there was no problem.
But today, when I updated, my website went down, because of this error.
File "/layers/google.python.pip/pip/lib/python3.10/site-packages/google/cloud/ndb/context.py", line 23, in <module> import six ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'Because I was using the previous virtual environment, this error did not appear on my laptop.
circle: install six
