ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'past' when installing tensorboard with pytorch 1.2

Question

I'm trying out tensorboard with pytorch by following this: https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensorboard.html

I've installed tensorboard with pip install tb-nightly

The command tensorboard --logdir=runs starts ok.

But the line self.writer = SummaryWriter()

Gives the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'past'

How do I fix this?

Adding future to the list of requirements solved the problem

# requirements.txt:

future

pip install -r requirements.txt
