Databases
=========
DB-API
------
The Python Database API (DB-API) defines a standard interface for Python
database access modules. It's documented in `PEP 249 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/>`_.
Nearly all Python database modules such as `sqlite3`, `psycopg` and
`mysql-python` conform to this interface.
SQLAlchemy
----------
`SQLAlchemy <http://www.sqlalchemy.org/>`_ is a commonly used database toolkit. Unlike many database libraries
it not only provides an ORM layer but also a generalized API for writing
database-agnostic code without SQL.
