    ~~~~~~~~~~

A module that provides lazy strings for translations.  Basically you
    get an object that appears to be a string but changes the value every
    time the value is evaluated based on a callable you provide.

For example you can have a global `lazy_gettext` function that returns
    a lazy string with the value of the current set language.

Example:

>>> from speaklater import make_lazy_string
    >>> sval = u'Hello World'
    >>> string = make_lazy_string(lambda: sval)

This lazy string will evaluate to the value of the `sval` variable.

>>> string
    lu'Hello World'
    >>> unicode(string)
    u'Hello World'
    >>> string.upper()
    u'HELLO WORLD'

If you change the value, the lazy string will change as well:

>>> sval = u'Hallo Welt'
    >>> string.upper()
    u'HALLO WELT'

This is especially handy when combined with a thread local and gettext
    translations or dicts of translatable strings:

>>> from speaklater import make_lazy_gettext
    >>> from threading import local
    >>> l = local()
    >>> l.translations = {u'Yes': 'Ja'}
    >>> lazy_gettext = make_lazy_gettext(lambda: l.translations.get)
    >>> yes = lazy_gettext(u'Yes')
    >>> print yes
    Ja
    >>> l.translations[u'Yes'] = u'Si'
    >>> print yes
    Si

Lazy strings are no real strings so if you pass this sort of string to
    a function that performs an instance check, it will fail.  In that case
    you have to explicitly convert it with `unicode` and/or `string` depending
    on what string type the lazy string encapsulates.

To check if a string is lazy, you can use the `is_lazy_string` function:

>>> from speaklater import is_lazy_string
    >>> is_lazy_string(u'yes')
    False
    >>> is_lazy_string(yes)
    True

New in version 1.2: It's now also possible to pass keyword arguments to
    the callback used with `make_lazy_string`.
