Cannot install due to futures issue

This is a duplicate of: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues/2559

The root issue is with this dependency. Nothing seems to have changed lately, either in this, or in the futures package.

I am having the same issue. Looks like an attempt at fixing this is in PR #23.

Collecting futures (from azure-cosmosdb-table) Downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/4a/f4/418e844d868e34638486732417fb82b05031910059d88b86aaea9c70f699/futures-3.1.2.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: This backport is meant only for Python 2. It does not work on Python 3, and Python 3 users do not need it as the concurrent.futures package is available in the standard library. For projects that work on both Python 2 and 3, the dependency needs to be conditional on the Python version, like so: extras_require={':python_version == "2.7"': ['futures']}

Also running into this issue. Temporarily fixed it by building the package with this PR change and uploading it to the same location as our private Python packages: https://github.com/Azure/azure-cosmosdb-python/pull/23

Also ran into the same issue. Solved the problem by installing futures==3.1.1 first.

On https://pypi.org/project/futures it states that the setup.py must add a conditional require on the futures package.

That works if it's feasible. However, if you use Python 3 or you have a requirements file that you give pip, you can't use that solution unfortunately.

This was resolved with: https://github.com/Azure/azure-cosmosdb-python/pull/23

This issue isn't fully resolved until an updated package is released on pypi.

@ausfeldt is there a timeline for an updated version?
