 According to that link, Java has a module named "Concurrent" with an
interface named "Future".  You're proposing a module named "Futures" with a
class named "Future".

Why not name your module "concurrent"?  That would eliminate the confusion
with "from __future__".  I don't see a problem with keeping the class name.

Plus, a "concurrent" module might be useful for things other than Futures,
in the future. ;-)

Just my 0.02 cents,
