Joshua Harlow cb0ebb9e6c Move six to the right location
Third party imports are supposed to be after standard library imports
so make six be after. Some newlines are also added to separate
standard library imports from all the others.

class Flow(object):
"""The base abstract class of all flow implementations.
A flow is a structure that defines relationships between tasks. You can
add tasks and other flows (as subflows) to the flow, and the flow provides
a way to implicitly or explicitly define how they are interdependent.
Exact structure of the relationships is defined by concrete
implementation, while this class defines common interface and adds
human-readable (not necessary unique) name.
NOTE(harlowja): if a flow is placed in another flow as a subflow, a desired
way to compose flows together, then it is valid and permissible that during
execution the subflow & parent flow may be flattened into a new flow. Since
a flow is just a 'structuring' concept this is typically a behavior that
should not be worried about (as it is not visible to the user), but it is
worth mentioning here.
Flows are expected to provide the following methods/properties:
- add
- __len__
- requires
- provides
