    werkzeug
    ~~~~~~~~

    Werkzeug is the Swiss Army knife of Python web development.

    It provides useful classes and functions for any WSGI application to make
    the life of a python web developer much easier.  All of the provided
    classes are independent from each other so you can mix it with any other
    library.

from types import ModuleType
import sys

# This import magic raises concerns quite often which is why the implementation
# and motivation is explained here in detail now.
#
# The majority of the functions and classes provided by Werkzeug work on the
# HTTP and WSGI layer.  There is no useful grouping for those which is why
# they are all importable from "werkzeug" instead of the modules where they are
# implemented.  The downside of that is, that now everything would be loaded at
# once, even if unused.
#
# The implementation of a lazy-loading module in this file replaces the
# werkzeug package when imported from within.  Attribute access to the werkzeug
# module will then lazily import from the modules that implement the objects.


# import mapping to objects in other modules
