+
+This is a backport of the `concurrent.futures`_ standard library module to Python 2.
+
+It **does not** work on Python 3 due to Python 2 syntax being used in the codebase.
+Python 3 users should not attempt to install it, since the package is already included in the
+standard library.
+
+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. Please see `Issue 29 <https://github.com/agronholm/pythonfutures/issues/29>`_ and `upstream bug report <https://bugs.python.org/issue9205>`_ for more details.
