There is a high severity CVE open on the python-future module (CVE-2025-50817). It's been a few weeks and there is no sign of the project owners addressing the vulnerability, presumably since the module is no longer being maintained.
python-future is only required to provide backwards compatibility in order to support Python 2. Since Python 2 has been EOL for five years I think it's safe for us to just remove Python 2 support and remove the dependency on python-future. Anyone who is still using Python 2 for any reason can always continue to use the current version of the client.
