In this one the tests require python-futures, which is python2 only. I
tried adding python2-futures anyway to the native-inputs but
unsuprisingly it didn't help with the tests. The right fix is to have
upstream change it so that it says (something like)

tests:
  require:
    "pytest" ,(version < '3' "futures");

but I need to read up more on my python syntax to suggest a patch.
