I’m not really sure what you mean. future package doesn’t have any dependencies 
as far as I can tell from the requirements.txt in the package. There are some 
additional dependencies if you need the code to work on python 2.6 but that’s 
not an issue here.

futurize -1 doesn’t inject dependencies into the code base itself.
