The easiest way to start developing python-future is as follows:

1. Install Anaconda Python distribution

2. Run:

   conda install -n future2 python=2.7 pip
   conda install -n future3 python=3.3 pip
   
   git clone https://github.com/PythonCharmers/python-future
   

3. If you are using Anaconda Python distribution, this comes without a test module on Python 2.x. Copy Python-2.7.6/Lib/test from the Python source tree to ``~/anaconda/envs/yourenvname/lib/python2.7/site-packages/`.
