[Installation] sudo pip3 install cassandra-medusa[AZURE] fails

Hi, Thanks for this awesome application. I was trying to install medusa, in ubuntu 16.04 using pip3 and got below error. I saw in another thread asking for install Medusa from master branch, But I was not sure, how it’ll affect the [AZURE] part. So if I install using pip install git+https://github.com/thelastpickle/cassandra-medusa.git will the azure integration work ? Or do I have to do any other manual steps?

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    This backport is meant only for Python 2.
    It does not work on Python 3, and Python 3 users do not need it as the concurrent.futures package is available in the standard library.
    For projects that work on both Python 2 and 3, the dependency needs to be conditional on the Python version, like so:
    extras_require={':python_version == "2.7"': ['futures']}

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 21.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Re-reading the whole thread, I notice that you’re using Ubuntu 16.04. We stopped building debian packages for trusty as it ships with python 3.5 which we don’t support anymore as it reached EOL. If you have Python 3.6 installed though, you can achieve what you’re after by running the following commands:

sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/thelastpickle/cassandra-medusa.git
sudo pip3 install azure-cli

Let me know how this works.

@adejanovski I thought it sounds better to have a statically compiled executable, which can run anywhere like a rust or golang. But as you told me, time is of the essence. I’ll try the compiled app approach when I’m free. But for now, I’ll try to update the xenial script with 3.6. Thanks for the heads-up.
