  """Used to hook in an external package into the TensorFlow namespace.

  Example usage:
  ### tensorflow/__init__.py
  from tensorflow.python.tools import component_api_helper
  component_api_helper.package_hook(
      'tensorflow', 'tensorflow_estimator.python')
  component_api_helper(

  TODO(mikecase): This function has a minor issue, where if the child package
  does not exist alone in its directory, sibling packages to it will also be
  accessible from the parent. This is because we just add
  `child_pkg.__file__/..` to the subpackage search path. This should not be
  a big issue because of how our API generation scripts work (the child package
  we are hooking up should always be alone). But there might be a better way
  of doing this.

  Args:
    parent_package_str: Parent package name as a string such as 'tensorflow' or
      'tensorflow.contrib'. This will become the parent package for the
      component package being hooked in.
    child_package_str: Child package name as a string such as
      'tensorflow_estimator.python'. This package will be added as a subpackage
      of the parent.
    error_msg: Message to print if child package cannot be found.
