[Django]-What is "load url from future" in Django

It’s due to a change to the url tag enacted in 1.3:

Changes to url and ssi

Most template tags will allow you to pass in either constants or variables as arguments – for example:

{% extends "base.html" %}

allows you to specify a base template as a constant, but if you have a context variable templ that contains the value base.html:

{% extends templ %}

is also legal.

However, due to an accident of history, the url and ssi are different. These tags use the second, quoteless syntax, but interpret the argument as a constant. This means it isn’t possible to use a context variable as the target of a url and ssi tag.

Django 1.3 marks the start of the process to correct this historical accident. Django 1.3 adds a new template library – future – that provides alternate implementations of the url and ssi template tags. This future library implement behavior that makes the handling of the first argument consistent with the handling of all other variables. So, an existing template that contains:

{% url sample %}

should be replaced with:

{% load url from future %}
{% url 'sample' %}

The tags implementing the old behavior have been deprecated, and in Django 1.5, the old behavior will be replaced with the new behavior. To ensure compatibility with future versions of Django, existing templates should be modified to use the new future libraries and syntax.
