It is definitely true that you can roll your own implementation using threads but the purpose of the futures library is to make that unnecessary.
I'd like to stress this; futures/pools/etc are common enough patterns (and I get requests to add more to multiprocessing) that it makes sense as an add-on to the stdlib. This is sugar; not magic. jesse
