python support disabled in qgis - no module named future

[saultdon]

I just upgraded QGIS to 2.16.0 from the OSGeo4W installer and it starts with a python error.

Couldn't load QGIS utils.
Python support will be disabled.


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "C:/GIS/Apps/OSGEO4~1/apps/qgis/./python\qgis\utils.py", line 20, in 
    from future import standard_library
ImportError: No module named future


Python version:
2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:44:16) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]

QGIS version:
2.16.0-Nødebo 'Nødebo', d0b3e39

Python path:

I think python-future in the installer just needs to be added as a dependency.
