This utility helps provide actionable error messages when optional dependencies are missing. It attempts to import the given module and, on failure, suggests a `pip install` command based on either the module name or an optional mitigation package name. Args: module (str): The full module name to import (e.g., ``"numpy"``, ``"pandas.io.parquet"``). mitigation (Optional[str], optional): The package name to suggest for installation if the import fails. If not provided, the top-level package of `module` will be used (e.g., ``"pandas"`` for ``"pandas.io.parquet"``). Returns: Any: The imported module object. Raises: ImportError: If the module cannot be imported, with a clear installation hint. Examples: >>> import zvec >>> np = zvec.require_module("numpy") >>> pq = zvec.require_module("pyarrow.parquet", mitigation="pyarrow") Note: This function is intended for lazy-loading optional dependencies with helpful error messages, not for core dependencies.
