``pasteurize``: Py3 to Py2/3
----------------------------

Running ``pasteurize -w mypy3module.py`` turns this Python 3 code::
    
    import configparser
    import copyreg
    
    class Blah:
        pass
    print('Hello', end=None)

into this code which runs on both Py2 and Py3::
    
    from __future__ import print_function
    from future import standard_library
    standard_library.install_hooks()
    
    import configparser
    import copyreg

    class Blah(object):
        pass
    print('Hello', end=None)

Notice that both ``futurize`` and ``pasteurize`` create explicit new-style
classes that inherit from ``object`` on both Python versions, and both 
refer to stdlib modules (as well as builtins) under their Py3 names.

Note also that the ``configparser`` module is a special case; there is a full
backport available on PyPI (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/configparser), so, as
of v0.16.0, ``python-future`` no longer provides a ``configparser`` package
alias. To use the resulting code on Py2, install the ``configparser`` backport
with ``pip install configparser`` or by adding it to your ``requirements.txt``
file.

``pasteurize`` also handles the following Python 3 features:

- keyword-only arguments
- metaclasses (using :func:`~future.utils.with_metaclass`)
- extended tuple unpacking (PEP 3132)

To handle function annotations (PEP 3107), see :ref:`func_annotations`.
