I'd add that it would feel more natural to me to write:

  try:
    print('%r page is %d bytes' % (url, len(future.result())))
- except FutureError:
-   print('%r generated an exception: %s' % (url, future.exception()))
+ except FutureError as e:
+   print('%r generated an exception: %s' % (url, e))
