E&S CVS Commit: PEAK - Cleaned up import string syntax; ':' is still recognized, but is now

Module Name:	PEAK
Committed By:	pje
Date:		Sat Apr 19 19:00:53 UTC 2003

Modified Files:
	PEAK/src/peak/util: imports.py

Log Message:
Cleaned up import string syntax; ':' is still recognized, but is now
undocumented and deprecated.  We now use a "'getattr()' first and
'__import__()' second" algorithm similar to that used by ZConfig.  While it
is still subject to ambiguity (it believes what a module puts inside of
itself over what 'sys.modules' says), it is also more robust.  Our old
algorithm was subject to quirkyness that this one should not be.
