Installing an ImageJ Python Script

[Alex-2]

All,
Forgive my basic questions but this is the first time I've built a python ImageJ script.  I asked a few related questions previously but I'm still having difficulty.  My preference is to use the script with ImageJ 1.x but can use Fiji if required. 

I am trying to use the script with ImageJ 1.x by placing it in the plugins folder.  The script appears in the plugins menu but when I try to run it I get an error that it can't find __future__

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named __future__
 
This makes no sense to me as the __future__ module is being used to import the with_statement module and python version is listed as :

2.5.4rc1 (2.5:723492dbab02, Feb 8 2013, 10:13:55)
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)]
from __future__ import with_statement is specifically designed for use with Python versions 2.5.x

https://docs.python.org/3/library/__future__.html
So ... moving on ...

I tired to use Fiji instead since it is based on ImageJ2. 

I'm able to paste the code into the Script Editor using File > New > Script ...

The code runs when executed from there.  However, when saved I can't get it to show up in the plugins menu.  I've tried saving it to :
Fiji/plugins
Fiji/plugins/Scripts
 Fiji/plugins/Scripts/Plugins
The file name has an _ in it.
The version of Fiji I'm running is ImageJ 2.0.0-rc-68/1.52e / Java1.8.0_172 (64-bit)
The version of ImageJ 1.x I'm running is ImageJ 1.52e / Java1.8.0_172 (64-bit)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Alex

Hi all,

This question was cross-posted on StackOverflow [1]. I responded [2]:

I do not know if __future__ is intended to work via ImageJ 1.x's Jython
support.

Regards,
Curtis
