+
+``pasteurize``: Py3 to Py2/3
+----------------------------
+
+Running ``pasteurize -w mypy3module.py`` turns this Python 3 code::
+
+ import configparser
+ import copyreg
+
+ class Blah:
+ pass
+ print('Hello', end=None)
+
+into this code which runs on both Py2 and Py3::
+
+ from __future__ import print_function
+ from future import standard_library
+ standard_library.install_hooks()
+
+ import configparser
+ import copyreg
+
+ class Blah(object):
+ pass
+ print('Hello', end=None)
+
+Notice that both ``futurize`` and ``pasteurize`` create explicit new-style
+classes that inherit from ``object`` on both Python versions, and both
+refer to stdlib modules (as well as builtins) under their Py3 names.
+
+Note also that the ``configparser`` module is a special case; there is a full
+backport available on PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/configparser/), so, as
+of v0.16.0, ``python-future`` no longer provides a ``configparser`` package
+alias. To use the resulting code on Py2, install the ``configparser`` backport
+with ``pip install configparser`` or by adding it to your ``requirements.txt``
+file.
+
+``pasteurize`` also handles the following Python 3 features:
+
+- keyword-only arguments
+- metaclasses (using :func:`~future.utils.with_metaclass`)
+- extended tuple unpacking (PEP 3132)
+
+To handle function annotations (PEP 3107), see :ref:`func_annotations`.
