In case anyone is stuck on older versions of Python for any reason, here are some backports of some of the listed features: * f-strings: https://github.com/asottile/future-fstrings (this is a pretty crazy hack, all the way to Python 2) * pathlib: https://pypi.org/project/pathlib2/ * typing: https://pypi.org/project/typing/ * enum: https://pypi.org/project/enum34/ (doesn't include any additions in 3.5+) * functools.lru_cache: https://github.com/jaraco/backports.functools_lru_cache * dataclasses: https://github.com/ericvsmith/dataclasses (3.6 only, requires ordered class __annotations__) I'm half-expecting someone to come along with a hacked-up Python 2 backport for implicit namespace packages :)
