pip install future

Better?

If you have a problem with an AUR package, your first stop should generally be the package’s AUR webpage. The pinned post on the python-future AUR page states

Do not post check errors here. Python-future package is not compatible with Python 3.13. If you use packages that depend on it, please contact maintainers and/or upstream of these packages and try to work out whether this dependency is really needed.

Why do you even want it installed? Python 2 is dead.

From the upstream url:

What’s new in version 1.0.0 (2024-02-21)

The new version number of 1.0.0 indicates that the python-future project, like Python 2, is now done.

Just FYI, python-future was dropped from the repos to the AUR for a reason–it’s not compatible with Python 3.13. You may not even need it unless an AUR package still depends on it.

❯ pacman -Qi python-future | grep 'Required By\|Optional For'
