        =========

        About
        =====
        cpghstore is written in C and is meant to be a faster alternative to
        `pghstore <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pghstore>`_. Run ``python setup.py
        test -s benchmark`` to see how it performs (requires pghstore to be installed if
        you want comparisons to be shown).
        
        Installation
        ============
        Run ``pip install cpghstore`` or download the
        source from `GitHub <http://github.com/kajic/cpghstore>`_ and run ``python
        setup.py install``.
        
        Usage
        =====
        Decode and encode hstore string::
        
            >>> import cpghstore
            >>> # decode
            >>> d = cpghstore.loads('"name"=>"Norge/Noreg"')
            >>> d
            {'name': 'Norge/Noreg'}
            >>> # encode
            >>> s = cpghstore.dumps(d)
            >>> s
            '"name"=>"Norge/Noreg"'
        
        Tests
        =====
        To run the test suite, run ``python setup.py test``.
        
        Benchmark
        =========
        Run ``python setup.py test -s benchmark`` to see how it performs (requires
        pghstore to be installed if you want comparisons to be shown).
        
        Limitations
        ===========
        Supports only str strings (i.e. not unicode strings).
        Can only decode (loads) string values, i.e. "key"=>"123" is supported while
        "key"=>123 is not.
