""" pyzolauncher.py script

This is a script used to startup Pyzo. Added for convenience, and also
for running a test on the source version.

Pyzo can be installed as a package, but it does not have to. You can
start Pyzo in a few different ways:
  * execute this script (pyzolauncher.py)
  * execute the pyzo directory (Python will seek out pyzo/__main__.py)
  * execute the pyzo package ("python -m pyzo")

Only in the latter must Pyzo be installed.
