futureis only used byuncertaintiesto providebuiltinsimports in Python 2, so it is not needed when usinguncertaintiesin Python 3. The main motivation for droppingfuturenow is that it is unmaintained and has unpatched security vulnerabillties (see PythonCharmers/python-future#610 for example). The vulnerabilities do not affectuncertaintiesbut they add a hurdle to some users usinguncertaintiesas they may not want to have known unpatched security vulnerabilities in their environments.Personally, I think it would be fine to drop Python 2 support entirely but this PR makes the minimal change of just not listing
futureas a dependency when installinguncertaintiesin Python 3.
