I wouldn't bother with a future statement until your patch has a chance of being included in Python.

That's what Guido did with the with-statement patch; he got Neal to do it for him ;) But if you really want to do it yourself, I would suggest grokking the with-statement future-import patch I checked in last week (written mostly by Neal Norwitz, with inspiration stolen from Michael Hudson's patch):
svn diff -r42666:42667 http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk
Just a quick question: how can I add new future keywords to Python? I
need to add a new (Python) keyword to the language, but there seems to
be a few different source files that I need to modify.
Just want to make sure I'm doing it the right way before I go unleashing
a nasty broken patch into the world :)
