        --------
        Overview
        --------
        
        This Python package provides a modular component framework, which 
        consists of the following core classes:
        
        :Interface:
          Subclasses of this class declare component interfaces that are registered in the framework
        
        :ExtensionPoint:
          A class used to declare extension points, which can access components with a particular interface
        
        :Plugin:
          Subclasses of this class declare plugins, which can be used to provide services within this component framework.
        
        :SingletonPlugin:
          Subclasses of this class declare singleton plugins, for which a single instance can be declared.
        
        :PluginEnvironment:
          A class that maintains the registries for interfaces, extension points and components.
        
        :PluginGlobals:
          A class that maintains global data concerning the set of environments that are currently being used.
        
        :PluginError:
          The exception class that is raised when errors arise in this framework.
        
        The outline of this framework is adapted from Trac (see the
        **trac.core** module).  This framework generalizes the Trac by supporting
        multi-environment management of components, as well as non-singleton
        plugins.  For those familiar with Trac, the following classes roughly
        correspond with each other:
        
            +-------------------+-------------------+ 
            | Trac              | PyUtilib          |
            +===================+===================+ 
            | Interface         | Interface         |
            +-------------------+-------------------+ 
            | ExtensionPoint    | ExtensionPoint    |
            +-------------------+-------------------+ 
            | Component         | SingletonPlugin   |
            +-------------------+-------------------+ 
            | ComponentManager  | PluginEnvironment |
            +-------------------+-------------------+
