One of the problems I encountered is that Python 2 requires `import ConfigParser`, while Python 3 requires `import configparser`.\r\n\r\nThe functionality of the new version of the your project futurize,  does not solve this problem.\r\n\r\nOn your project website (https://python-future.org/imports.html), it is stated:\r\n\r\n\u003e Note that, as of v0.16.0, python-future no longer includes an alias for the configparser module because a full backport exists (see https://pypi.org/project/configparser/).\r\n\r\nFrom this, I concluded that this issue is resolved by the tools of configparser's project.\r\n\r\nAfter following your link to configparsers's project, I see:\r\n\r\n\u003e \r\n\u003e     This package is a backport of the refreshed and enhanced ConfigParser from later Python versions. To use the backport instead of the built-in version, simply import it explicitly as a backport:\r\n\u003e \r\n\u003e     `from backports import configparser`\r\n\u003e \r\n\u003e     To use the backport on Python 2 and the built-in version on Python 3, use the standard invocation:\r\n\u003e \r\n\u003e     `import configparser`\r\n\u003e \r\n\u003e     For detailed documentation consult the vanilla version at http://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html.\r\n\r\nHowever, even after installing with `pip install configparser,` neither the code `import configparser `nor the code `from backports import configparser` works when running on Python 2.\r\n\r\nCan you explain how to ensure configparser's compatibility  between Python 2 and Python 3 without futurize's tools?\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Pablitosi4","@type":"Person","name":"Pablitosi4"},"datePublished":"2024-03-19T08:37:08.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/638/python-future/issues/638"}
