  Description     : set of Python utility modules commonly used by all Divmod.org project

   Epsilon is a set of Python utility modules, commonly used by all
   Divmod.org Python-based projects.
   .
   This is intended mainly as a support package for code used by Divmod
   projects, however it contains many useful modules. Currently included:
    * a powerful date/time formatting and import/export class
      (extime.Time), for exchanging date and time information between all
      Python's various ways to interpret objects as times or time deltas
    * tools for managing concurrent asynchronous processes within Twisted
    * a metaclass which helps you define classes with explicit states
    * a featureful Version class
    * a formal system for application of monkey-patches.

I'm packaging epsilon mostly as a dependency for axiom
(http://www.divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodAxiom), to be ITP-ed soon.

I'm a newbie python packager, so comments are totally welcome. I'll keep
the ITP bug informed about where to found preliminary versions of the
package for reviews.

TIA,
Cheers.
