Description: ==========
        GeoAlchemy
        ==========
        
        GIS Support for `SQLAlchemy <http://www.sqlalchemy.org/>`_.
        
        Introduction
        ------------
        GeoAlchemy is an extension of SQLAlchemy. It provides support for
        Geospatial data types at the ORM layer using SQLAlchemy. It aims to
        support spatial operations and relations specified by the Open Geospatial
        Consortium (OGC). The project started under Google Summer of Code Program
        under the mentorship of `Mark Ramm-Christensen <http://compoundthinking.com/blog/>`_.
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        Requires SQLAlchemy > 0.6. Supported on Python 2.5 and Python 2.6.
        Should also work with Python 2.4 but has not been tested. It also
        requires a supported spatial database.
        
        
        Supported Spatial Databases
        ---------------------------
        At present `PostGIS <http://postgis.refractions.net/>`_, `Spatialite
        <http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/>`_, `MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/>`_,
        `Oracle <http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html>`_
        and `MS SQL Server 2008 <http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/spatial-data.aspx?pf=true>`_
        are supported.
