Not just ugly, but buggy. On Linux, importing builtins will fail in Python
2. So my code that passed all tests on Windows has just failed several unit
tests on Linux.
This illustrates the perils of coding to linters. Complete testing is
required for all such workarounds. A "solution" on Linux would be to
import a module called "future", but that would create installation
problems. This also illustrates how odious the pyflakes refusal to inhibit
messages can be. Bugs, courtesy of pyflakes.
It's unbearable to see pyflakes messages that can't be suppressed, so
something safe and effective must be done. It doesn't have to be pretty,
however ;-)
