+PyDal is a database abstraction layer for Python. It provides a DBAPI 2.0
+wrapper for DBAPI 2.0 drivers. Sounds strange, but even drivers that fully
+conform to the DBAPI can differ enough to make building database independent
+applications difficult. Two major abstractions handled by PyDal are
+paramstyles and datetime objects. PyDal makes it possible to use the same
+paramstyle and datetime types with any module that conforms to DBAPI 2.0.
+In addition, paramstyles and datetime types are configurable.
