Just look inside the __future__ module.
* nested_scopes
* generators
Already mandatory features. You don't need to import them.
* with_statement
Import this one if you're using the feature. And for forward
compatibility, don't use "with" as a variable name.
* absolute_import
I haven't followed this one.
* division
ALWAYS import this in new modules. Otherwise, you'll be very likely
to get burned my code as simple as
def mean(seq):
return sum(seq) / len(seq)
