NLPI resource manager
NLPI consists of a complex framework of resources (both files and Python objects), provided by writing sourcefiles, Python methods and binaries. Each resource relies on other resources. In short words: anything relies on tricky resource management.
Used classes:

Operations:
Attributes:
- public boolean Znlpi_resourcesDebug: If set to true tbe manager will print status messages.
- public dictionary Znlpi_availableResources: Znlpi_availableResources is a dictionary of resources instaled.NLPI instances can apply them to their Znlpi_resources dictionary.Methods are referenced by their name in refSymobol as string because otherwise cPickle fails to pickle resource instances.

public Znlpi_registerResource (
refSymbol in string )
Method for registering available resources in Znlpi_availableResources.
attaching a resource instance to it.
Other NLPI instances will copy its properties; it serves as a template.
