Hyperopt: ImportError: No module named builtins (Python 2.7)

[j-abi]

Running pip install future fixed this error for me.
For compatibility with Python2.7, I think the package future should be added to the install_requires in setup.py (hopefully this is also compatible with Python3?).

Note that nosetests also fails without matplotlib, but I'm not sure adding matplotlib as a dependency makes much sense.

You're right, I addressed this in the patch above. Thanks for spotting this.

YES, we should "pip install future". Besides, the Nvidia GPU-Accelerated Caffe2 did not correct this flaw. So, this is a must for python 2.7 environments.

I also had to pip install argparse (python 2.6.x)
