This library aims to be a drop-in replacement for the Python scraperwiki library for use locally. That is, functions will work the same way, and data will go into a local SQLite database; a targeted bombing of ScraperWiki’s servers will not stop this local library from working, unless you happen to be running it on one of ScraperWiki’s servers.
