 ## Description
+THIS PACKAGE IS OUT OF DATE.
+
+The goal was to make "database connections easier, and more consistent, across multiple database types".
+It's semi-implemented, at least for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
+
+
+But it's buggy and definitely needs work, and I just haven't had time.
+
+
+In particular, the query syntax parsing really should be converted to a grammar, instead of Pythonic.
+It should have been a grammar from the start, to be honest.
+
+
+Maybe one day I'll get to this again and work on it further.
+For now, it's in a half-implemented state. Use at your own risk.
+

 Connector for Pythonic interaction with multiple database types.
