<p>This module leverages Python’s import system to provide access to <em>resources</em>
within <em>packages</em>.  If you can import a package, you can access resources
within that package.  Resources can be opened or read, in either binary or
text mode.</p>
<p>Resources are roughly akin to files inside directories, though it’s important
to keep in mind that this is just a metaphor.  Resources and packages <strong>do
not</strong> have to exist as physical files and directories on the file system:
for example, a package and its resources can be imported from a zip file using
<a class="reference internal" href="zipimport.html#module-zipimport" title="zipimport: Support for importing Python modules from ZIP archives."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zipimport</span></code></a>.</p>

resources included in packages easier, with more stable and consistent
