  Description     : Tools for creating WTForms forms from SQLAlchemy models

 WTForms-Alchemy provides a helper class that let you create a Form class
 from a SQLAlchemy model. It does not try to replace all the functionality
 of wtforms.ext.sqlalchemy, only the model_form function of
 wtforms.ext.sqlalchemy by a much better solution. Other functionality of
 .ext.sqlalchemy such as QuerySelectField and QuerySelectMultipleField can be
 used along with WTForms-Alchemy.
 .
 The benefits of WTForms-Alchemy ModelForm over wtforms.ext.sqlachemy’s
 model_form include:
 .
  * Provides explicit declaration of ModelForms (much easier to override
    certain columns)
  * Form generation supports Unique and NumberRange validators
  * Form inheritance support (along with form configuration inheritance)
  * Automatic SelectField type coercing based on underlying column type
  * By default uses wtforms_components SelectField for fields with choices.
    This field understands None values and renders nested datastructures as
    optgroups.
  * Provides better Unique validator
  * Supports custom user defined types as well as type decorators
  * Supports SQLAlchemy-Utils datatypes
  * Supports ModelForm model relations population
  * Smarter field exclusion
  * Smarter field conversion
  * Understands join table inheritance
  * Better configuration
