zope.proxy is harder. :( What's especially sad is that the dependency
on it is rather unimportant. It is used by zope.deferredimport. I
was forced to use proxies because of annoying limitations in Python's
module implementation and the inspect module's assumption that a
module is not a module unless it subclasses the standard Python module
type. I expect though that a simpler proxy implementation could be
used by deferredimport. This would make zope.component depend on
zope.proxy only if the annoying zcml is used.

Thanks Martijn.
A little investigation shows me that Jim is correct.
1. zope.interface 'just works' as pure-python
2. zope.component depends on zope.proxy:
a. in zcml.py. (I probably wouldn't be using zcml in my experiment)
b. by its dependency on zope.deferredimport
If I have understood the code correctly in zope.deferredimport the
problem which zope.proxy.ProxyBase answers is in the following snippet
from z.deferredimport.deferredmodule:initialize [1] where a type(module)
comparison is made.
Therefore, if I could understand fully Jim's statement:
"the inspect module's assumption that a module is not a module unless it
subclasses the standard Python module type"
Then I could attempt to substitute pure-python code for the type(module)
problem which appears in the `initialize` method.
