future: Easy, safe support for Python 3/2 compatibility

=======================================================

``future`` is the missing compatibility layer between Python 3 and Python

2. It allows you to use a single, clean Python 3.x-compatible codebase to

support both Python 3 and Python 2 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 *

or explicitly as::

from future.builtins import (bytes, int, range, round, str, super,

ascii, chr, hex, input, oct, open,

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

``from future import standard_library`` provides a context-manager called

``enable_hooks`` that installs import hooks (PEP 3108) to allow renamed and

moved standard library modules to be imported from their new Py3 locations.

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``.

:Others: - The backported ``super()`` and ``range()`` functions are

derived from Ryan Kelly's ``magicsuper`` module and Dan

Crosta's ``xrange`` module.

- The ``futurize`` script uses ``lib2to3`` and fixers from

Joe Amenta's ``lib3to2`` and Armin Ronacher's ``python-modernize``.

- The ``python_2_unicode_compatible`` decorator is from

Django. The ``implements_iterator`` and ``with_metaclass``

decorators are from Jinja2.

- Documentation is generated using ``sphinx`` and styled using

``sphinx-bootstrap-theme``.
