ImportError: No module named builtins

[austintrombley]

the package won't import even though i pip upgraded and made sure i'm using pyhive-0.2.1. I sudo pip installed future - and I am still getting this error?

from pyhive import hive
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pyhive/hive.py", line 13, in
from pyhive import common
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pyhive/common.py", line 8, in
from builtins import bytes
ImportError: No module named builtins

Hi Austin,

This probably has something to do with your python environment rather than this package. Some things you can try are looking at PYTHONPATH in your environment, sys.path in a python REPL, and the results of an import in a python REPL. You might get a more useful answer from a python/pip/mac mailing list, or perhaps someone intimately familiar with your python environment.

The module "builtins" has another name in python 2.7 "builtin". This is the reason, why pyhive can not be imported into a python 2.7 environment.
The requirements are stated wrong, since version 0.1.8 it is no longer compatible to python 2.7.
Can you fix this?
