  Description     : Deferred imports of Python modules

Often, especially for package modules, you want to import names for
convenience, but not actually perform the imports until necessary.
The zope.deferredimport package provides facilities for defining names
in modules that will be imported from somewhere else when used.  You
can also cause deprecation warnings to be issued when a variable is
used.

This is required by a new upstream version of python-persistent.  I
intend to package it within the Python team.
