You shouldn't do this. You shouldn't import from a module starting with 
an underscore. It's the developers' way of telling you to treat it as 
internal. 'from zope.component import getUtility' is almost certain to 
work "forever". The _api module could disappear in a refactoring tomorrow.

The only way to fix this is to make PyDev aware of zope.deferredimport. 
You could ask. :)
