  Description     : Data-loading utility for Python


A loader for package files relative to a module

This class wraps :mod:`importlib.resources` to provide a getter
Function with an interpreter-lifetime scope. For typical packages
it simply passes through filesystem paths as :class:`~pathlib.Path`
objects. For zipped distributions, it will unpack the files into
a temporary directory that is cleaned up on interpreter exit.

This is a new dependency of "nipype" and will be maintained
as well inside the Med Team. They can snap it of my hand if
they are faster ;-)
