        `database-sanitizer` is a tool which retrieves an database dump from
        relational database and performs sanitation on the retrieved data
        according to rules defined in a configuration file. Currently the
        sanitation tool supports both [PostgreSQL] and [MySQL] databases.
        
        [PostgreSQL]: https://postgres.org
        [MySQL]: https://mysql.com
        
        ## Installation
        
        `database-sanitizer` can be installed from [PyPI] with [pip] like this:
        
        ```bash
        $ pip install database-sanitizer
        ```
        
        If you are using MySQL, you need to install the package like this
        instead, so that additional requirements are included:
        
        ```bash
        $ pip install database-sanitizer[MySQL]
        ```
        
        [PyPI]: https://pypi.org
        [pip]: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/
        
        ## Usage
        
        Once the package has been installed, `database-sanitizer` can be used
        like this:
        
        ```bash
        $ database-sanitizer <DATABASE-URL>
        ```
        
        Command line argument `DATABASE-URL` needs to be provided so the tool
        knows how to retrieve the dump from the database. With PostgreSQL, it
        would be something like this:
        
        ```bash
        $ database-sanitizer postgres://user:password@host/database
        ```
        
        However, unless an configuration file is provided, no sanitation will be
        performed on the retrieved database dump, which leads us to the next
        section which will be...
        
        ## Configuration
        
        Rules for the sanitation can be given in a configuration file written in
        [YAML]. Path to the configuration file is then given to the command line
        utility with `--config` argument (`-c` for shorthand) like this:
        
        [YAML]: http://yaml.org
        
        ```bash
        $ database-sanitizer -c config.yml postgres://user:password@host/database
        ```
        
        The configuration file uses following kind of syntax:
        
        ```YAML
        config:
          addons:
            - some.other.package
            - yet.another.package
        strategy:
          user:
            first_name: name.first_name
            last_name: name.last_name
            secret_key: string.empty
        ```
        
        In the example configuration above, there are first listed two "addon
        packages", which are names of Python packages where the sanitizer will
        be looking for sanitizer functions. They are completely optional and can
        be omitted, in which case only sanitizer functions defined in package
        called `sanitizers` and built-in sanitizers will be used instead.
        
        The `strategy` portion of the configuration contains the actual
        sanitation rules. First you define name of the database table (in the
        example that would be `user`) followed by column names in that table
        which each one mapped to sanitation function name. The name of the
        sanitation function consists from two parts separated from each other by
        a dot: Python module name and name of the actual function, which will
        be prefixed with `sanitize_`, so `name.first_name` would be a function
        called `sanitize_first_name` in a file called `name.py`.
