Our current python framework, based on IronPython, does not support custom data importing.
Soon we are release a new framework, based on Python.NET, that will be fill some of the IronPython gaps. However custom data will not be part of the first release.
QuantConnect is about to support Futures (and Options). If the futures you want to trade are listed in our database, you will not need to import them and will be able to trade them with a python algorithm.

All I see is a link to Algoseek

Sorry about the misunderstanding.
That link does not show how to import futures data, only presents the data that will be available: AlgoSeek data.
