  Description     : utilities from the Python Enterprise Application Kit
    The Python Enterprise Application Kit (PEAK) is a set of Python
    libraries to help develop large-scale Python applications.
    .   
    PEAK includes libraries and frameworks to support: component
    integration, component configuration , document-driven testing,
    event-driven programming, storage management and persistence, domain
    modelling, and much more.
    .
    This package provides a subset of utilities related to PEAK, and
    commonly found as dependencies for PEAK-based components. In
    particular, this package provides:
    .
     * AddOns - dynamic mixins with private attribute and methods
     * BytecodeAssembler - code object generation assembling bytecode
     * Extremes - absolute max and min values (PEP 326 implementation)
     * SymbolType - symbol type, i.e., enumerations


The above are four different upstream packages, but all small enough
to not warrant a separate source package (IMO). Collectively, they
form a significant subset of the peak.util namespace. Also, they are
collectively needed as dependencies for PEAK.rules (ITP #531871),
which in turn is a dependency needed to un-FUBAR TurboJson (#507909).

The package will be maintained under the umbreall of Python Modules
Team: help is appreciated.

Cheers.
