+SQLAlchemy Loading Tools
+========================
+
+A collection of wrappers and functions to make SQLAlchemy core easier 
+to use in an ETL application. The package is used only for database
+abstraction and not as an ORM, allowing users to write extraction
+scripts that can work with multiple database backends.
+
+Functions are provided to easily select and update records in a
+transformation pipeline.
