  Add *,**,@ to index, as suggested by
  http://farmdev.com/thoughts/24/what-does-the-def-star-variable-or-def-asterisk-parameter-syntax-do-in-python-/

  The right entry type to use isn't clear; operator seems wrong, because *,**,@
  aren't being used in expressions here.  I put them as 'statement'; 'syntax'
  might be better.

:synopsis: Utilities to support extension of packages.
This module provides a single function:
This module provides functions to manipulate packages:
.. function:: extend_path(path, name)
@ -38,3 +38,24 @@ This module provides a single function:
``sys.path`` that cause errors when used as filenames may cause this function
to raise an exception (in line with :func:`os.path.isdir` behavior).
.. function:: get_data(package, resource)
Get a resource from a package.
This is a wrapper round the PEP 302 loader :func:`get_data` API. The package
argument should be the name of a package, in standard module format
(foo.bar). The resource argument should be in the form of a relative
filename, using ``/`` as the path separator. The parent directory name
``..`` is not allowed, and nor is a rooted name (starting with a ``/``).
The function returns a binary string, which is the contents of the
specified resource.
For packages located in the filesystem, which have already been imported,
this is the rough equivalent of::
d = os.path.dirname(sys.modules[package].__file__)
data = open(os.path.join(d, resource), 'rb').read()
If the package cannot be located or loaded, or it uses a PEP 302 loader
which does not support :func:`get_data`, then None is returned.
