Thanks!
python-future has been a dependency of pytimeparse¹ for a while and it has been a nightmare. IIRC, python-future blends into Python magically so it is somehow automatically imported each time you run Python. This had a tendency to break random other Python packages installed in the environment. In the end we just dropped it from pytimeparse and we're much happier. And we're very happy with six. :) ¹ It's used by Gnocchi. -- Julien Danjou -- Free Software hacker -- https://julien.danjou.info
