[PEAK] Question regarding lazyModule

[Vineet Jain]

I've migrated my application to use lazy module and it has been working 
well. I'm trying to figure out why the matplotlib (distributed as an 
egg) gets imported when I do:

    from peak.util.imports import lazyModule

Traceback (most recent call last):
