.... the original intention is that _rl_accel should not be required. My
version of paragraph has

try:
        from _rl_accel import _sameFrag
except:
        def _sameFrag(f,g):
                'returns 1 if two ParaFrags map out the same'
                if hasattr(f,'cbDefn') or hasattr(g,'cbDefn'): return 0
                for a in ('fontName', 'fontSize', 'textColor', 'rise'):
                        if getattr(f,a)!=getattr(g,a): return 0
                return 1

any attempt to change to an unconditional import should be avoided.
