        Datatest provides tools for test driven data-wrangling
        and analysis. It supports both `pytest <https://pytest.org/>`_
        and `unittest <https://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html>`_
        style testing.
        
        You can use datatest to automate checklists, log discrepancies,
        and measure progress. It encourages a structured approach for
        preparing messy data that needs to be cleaned, integrated,
        formatted, and verified.
        
        Datatest has no hard dependencies and supports Python 2.6, 2.7,
        3.1 through 3.6, PyPy, and PyPy3.

        Installation
        ============
        
        .. start-inclusion-marker-install
        
        The easiest way to install datatest is to use `pip <https://pip.pypa.io>`_::
        
          pip install datatest
        
        To upgrade an existing installation, use the "``--upgrade``" option::
        
          pip install --upgrade datatest

        -------------
        
        If you need bug-fixes or features that are not available
        in the current stable release, you can "pip install" the
        development version directly from GitHub::
        
          pip install --upgrade https://github.com/shawnbrown/datatest/archive/master.zip
        
        All of the usual caveats for a development install should
        apply---only use this version if you can risk some instability
        or if you know exactly what you're doing. While care is taken
        to never break the build, it can happen.
        
        
        Safety-first Clyde
        ------------------
        
        If you need to review and test packages before installing, you can
        install datatest manually.
        
        Download the latest **source** distribution from the Python Package
        Index (PyPI):
        
          https://pypi.org/project/datatest/ (navigate to "Download files")
        
        Unpack the file (replacing X.Y.Z with the appropriate version number)
        and review the source code::
        
          tar xvfz datatest-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
        
        Change to the unpacked directory and run the tests::
        
          cd datatest-X.Y.Z
          python setup.py test
        
        Don't worry if some of the tests are skipped. Tests for optional data
        sources (like pandas DataFrames or MS Excel files) are skipped when the
        related third-party packages are not installed.
        
        If the source code and test results are satisfactory, install the
        package::
        
          python setup.py install
        
        .. end-inclusion-marker-install
        
        
        Supported Versions
        ==================
        
        Tested on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1 through 3.6, PyPy, and PyPy3.
        Datatest is pure Python and may also run on other implementations
        as well (check using "setup.py test" before installing).
        
        
        Backward Compatibility
        ======================
        
        If you have existing tests that use API features which have
        changed since 0.8.0, you can still run your old code by
        adding the following import to the beginning of each file::
        
          from datatest.__past__ import api08
        
        To maintain existing test code, this project makes a best-effort
        attempt to provide backward compatibility support for older
        features. The API will be improved in the future but only in
        measured and sustainable ways.
        
        All of the data used at the `National Committee for an Effective
        Congress <http://www.ncec.org/about>`_ has been checked with
        datatest for several years so there is, already, a large and
        growing codebase that relies on current features and must be
        maintained into the future.
        
        
        Soft Dependencies
        =================
        
        There are no hard, third-party dependencies. But if you want to
        interface with pandas DataFrames, MS Excel workbooks, or other
        optional data sources, you will need to install the relevant
        packages (``pandas``, ``xlrd``, etc.).
        
        
        Older Pythons (3.1 and 2.6)
        ===========================
        
        While datatest supports Python 3.1 and 2.6, some earlier builds
        of these versions were bundled with an older version of SQLite
        that is not compatible with datatest. The ``sqlite3`` package is
        part of the Python Standard Library and some features of datatest
        use it for internal data handling---though users never need to
        use the package directly.
        
        If you must use one of these older Python versions and you are
        experiencing issues, it is recommended that you upgrade to the
        latest patch release (currently Python 3.1.5 or Python 2.6.9).
