"""
py-postgresql is a Python package for using PostgreSQL. This includes low-level
protocol tools, a driver(PG-API and DB-API), and cluster management tools.

If it's not documented in the narratives, `postgresql.documentation.index`, then
the stability of the APIs should *not* be trusted.

See <http://postgresql.org> for more information about PostgreSQL.
