Description: 
        future: Easy, safe support for Python 2/3 compatibility
        =======================================================
        
        ``future`` is the missing compatibility layer between Python 2 and Python
        3. It allows you to use a single, clean Python 3.x-compatible codebase to
        support both Python 2 and Python 3 with minimal overhead.
        
        It is designed to be used as follows::
        
            from __future__ import (absolute_import, division,
                                    print_function, unicode_literals)
            from builtins import (
                     bytes, dict, int, list, object, range, str,
                     ascii, chr, hex, input, next, oct, open,
                     pow, round, super,
                     filter, map, zip)
        
        followed by predominantly standard, idiomatic Python 3 code that then runs
        similarly on Python 2.6/2.7 and Python 3.3+.
        
        The imports have no effect on Python 3. On Python 2, they shadow the
        corresponding builtins, which normally have different semantics on Python 3
        versus 2, to provide their Python 3 semantics.
        
        
        Standard library reorganization
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ``future`` supports the standard library reorganization (PEP 3108) through the
        following Py3 interfaces:
        
            >>> # Top-level packages with Py3 names provided on Py2:
            >>> import configparser
            >>> import html.parser
            >>> import queue
            >>> import tkinter.dialog
            >>> import xmlrpc.client
            >>> # etc.
        
            >>> # Aliases provided for extensions to existing Py2 module names:
            >>> from future.standard_library import install_aliases
            >>> install_aliases()
        
            >>> from collections import Counter, OrderedDict   # backported to Py2.6
            >>> from collections import UserDict, UserList, UserString
            >>> import urllib.request
            >>> from itertools import filterfalse, zip_longest
            >>> from subprocess import getoutput, getstatusoutput
        
        
        Automatic conversion
        --------------------
        
        An included script called `futurize
        <http://python-future.org/automatic_conversion.html>`_ aids in converting
        code (from either Python 2 or Python 3) to code compatible with both
        platforms. It is similar to ``python-modernize`` but goes further in
        providing Python 3 compatibility through the use of the backported types
        and builtin functions in ``future``.
