  Description     : Python library for interface to tabular data, no matter the format

No matter in which format your tabular data is: pyhton-rows will import it,
automatically detect types and give you high-level Python objects so you can
start working with the data instead of trying to parse it.
It is also locale-and-unicode aware.

The library is composed by:

- A common interface to tabular data (the Table class)
- A set of plugins to populate Table objects CSV, XLS, HTML, TXT -- more soon!
- A set of common fields (such as BoolField, IntegerField) which know exactly
  how to serialize and deserialize data for each object type you'll get
- A set of utilities (such as field type recognition) to help working with
  tabular data
- A command-line interface so you can have easy access to the most used features:
  convert between formats, sum, join and sort tables.
  Just import rows and relax.
