"""
Functions to find and load NLTK X{resource files}, such as corpora,
grammars, and saved processing objects.  Resource files are identified
using URLs, such as"C{nltk:corpora/abc/rural.txt}" or
"C{http://nltk.org/sample/toy.cfg}".  The following URL protocols are
supported:

  - "C{file:I{path}}": Specifies the file whose path is C{I{path}}.
    Both relative and absolute paths may be used.
    
  - "C{http://I{host}/{path}}": Specifies the file stored on the web
    server C{I{host}} at path C{I{path}}.
    
  - "C{nltk:I{path}}": Specifies the file stored in the NLTK data
    package at C{I{path}}.  NLTK will search for these files in the
    directories specified by L{nltk.data.path}.

If no protocol is specified, then the default protocol "C{nltk:}" will
be used.
 
This module provides to functions that can be used to access a
resource file, given its URL: L{load()} loads a given resource, and
adds it to a resource cache; and L{retrieve()} copies a given resource
to a local file.

    whose message gives a pointer to the installation instructions for
    the NLTK downloader.

    Zip File Handling:

      - If C{resource_name} contains a component with a C{.zip}
        extension, then it is assumed to be a zipfile; and the
        remaining path components are used to look inside the zipfile.

      - If a given resource name that does not contain any zipfile
        component is not found initially, then C{find()} will make a
        second attempt to find that resource, by replacing each
        component I{p} in the path with I{p.zip/p}.  For example, this

        C{corpora/chat80/cities.pl} to a zip file path pointer to
        C{corpora/chat80.zip/chat80/cities.pl}.

      - When using C{find()} to locate a directory contained in a
        zipfile, the resource name I{must} end with the C{'/'}
