-This python utility package helps to create lazy modules. A lazy module defers
-loading (some of) its attributes until these attributes are first accessed. The
-module's lazy attributes in turn are attributes of other modules. These other
-modules will be imported/loaded only when (and if) associated attributes are
-used. A lazy import strategy can drastically reduce runtime and memory
-consumption.

-Additionally, this package provides a utility for optional imports with which
-one can import a module globally while triggering associated import errors only
-at use-sites (when and if a dependency is actually required, for example in the
-context of a specific functionality).
+Tokenization is a necessary first step in many natural language processing
+tasks, such as word counting, parsing, spell checking, corpus generation, and
+statistical analysis of text.
