Description: pandasql
        ========
        
        ``pandasql`` allows you to query ``pandas`` DataFrames using SQL syntax.
        It works similarly to ``sqldf`` in R. ``pandasql`` seeks to provide a
        more familiar way of manipulating and cleaning data for people new to
        Python or ``pandas``.
        
        Installation
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install -U pandasql
        
        Bascis
        ^^^^^^
        
        The main function used in pandasql is ``sqldf``. ``sqldf`` accepts 2
        parametrs - a sql query string - an set of session/environment variables
        (``locals()`` or ``globals()``)
        
        Specifying ``locals()`` or ``globals()`` can get tedious. You can
        defined a short helper function to fix this.
        
        ::
        
            from pandasql import sqldf
            pysqldf = lambda q: sqldf(q, globals())
        
        Querying
        ^^^^^^^^
        
        ``pandasql`` uses `SQLite syntax <http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html>`__.
        Any ``pandas`` dataframes will be automatically detected by
        ``pandasql``. You can query them as you would any regular SQL table.
        
        ::
        
            $ python
            >>> from pandasql import sqldf, load_meat, load_births
            >>> pysqldf = lambda q: sqldf(q, globals())
            >>> meat = load_meat()
            >>> births = load_births()
            >>> print pysqldf("SELECT * FROM meat LIMIT 10;").head()
