xotl.tools.future - Extend standard modules with “future” features

Extend standard modules including “future” features in current versions.

Version 3 introduce several concepts in standard modules. Sometimes these features are implemented in the evolution of 2.7.x versions. By using sub-modules, these differences can be avoided transparently. For example, you can import xotl.tools.future.collections.UserDict in any version, that it’s equivalent to Python 3 collections.UserDict, but it don’t exists in Python 2.

New in version 1.7.2.
