Fix is always available.
What it does
Checks for imports of Python 3 builtins from Python 2 compatibility shims
such as python-future and six.

These shims existed to access Python 3 builtins from code that also ran on Python 2. On Python 3-only code, the imports are redundant.
Example
Use instead:
Fix safety
This fix is marked as unsafe because it will remove comments attached to the unused import.
Options
This rule will not trigger on imports required by the isort configuration.
