Use ThreadPoolExecutor #78

Closed ssundarraj closed 9 years ago

ssundarraj commented 9 years ago

We can use this instead of SimplePool. This will result in removal of one dependancy. https://docs.python.org/3.3/library/concurrent.futures.html#threadpoolexecutor

futures isn't available out of the box in python2. It's available from python3.2. This will ease the installation for users that run this on python3.2+. Also, ThreadPoolExecutor is far more mature as a library than SimplePool.
