It should not be installed on Python 3, although there should be no harm in doing so, as the standard library takes precedence over third party libraries. To conditionally require this library only on Python 2, you can do this in your ``setup.py``: .. code-block:: python setup( ... extras_require={ ':python_version == "2.7"': ['futures'] } ) Or, using the newer syntax: .. code-block:: python setup( ... install_requires={ 'futures; python_version == "2.7"' } ) .. warning:: The ``ProcessPoolExecutor`` class has known (unfixable) problems on Python 2 and should not be relied on for mission critical work. .. _concurrent.futures: https://docs.python.org/library/concurrent.futures.html
