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.
        
        Notable projects that use ``future`` for Python 2/3 compatibility are `Mezzanine <http://mezzanine.jupo.org/>`_ and `xlwt-future <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt-future>`_.
        
        It is designed to be used as follows::
        
            from __future__ import (absolute_import, division,
                                    print_function, unicode_literals)
            from future import standard_library
            from future.builtins import *     # or explicit imports: str, int, bytes,
                                              # open, super, range, zip, input, etc.
            
        followed by predominantly standard, idiomatic Python 3 code that then runs similarly on Python 2.6/2.7 and Python 3.3+.
        
        On Python 3, the import lines have zero effect (and zero namespace
        pollution).
        
        On Python 2, ``from future import standard_library`` installs
        import hooks to allow renamed and moved standard library modules to be
        imported from their new Py3 locations. On Python 2, the ``from future.builtins import *`` line shadows all builtins with different behaviour in Python 3 versus 2 to provide their Python 3 semantics.
        
        
        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``.
