Description: # django-geohashing
        
        A Django application for calculating geohashes and exposing them 
        via RESTful interface. Requires Django 1.8.x+ (takes advantage of
        updated argument parsing for custom management commands, see: 
        [Django 1.8 Release Notes][1] for more information).
        
        ## Installation
        
        Install with pip:
        
        ```bash
        pip install django-geohashing
        ```
        
        ## Quick Start
        
        1. Add "geohashing" to your INSTALLED_APPS:
        
            ```python
            INSTALLED_APPS = (
               ...
               'geohashing',
            )
            ```
        
        2. Create the geohashing tables by resyncing your models:
        
            ```bash
            python manage.py migrate
            ```
        
        3. Populate the table using the `get_historical_djia` management command:
        
            ```bash
            python manage.py get_historical_djia
            ```
        
            The `get_historical_djia` command takes two optional parameters:
            `--start` and `--end`. These parameters accept date strings of the format
            `YYYY-MM-DD`. They may be used to limit the set of results from
            which to database is populated (so for instance to only retrieve and process 
            only the 30 most recent DJIA openings instead of every opening since 1928).
        
        ## TODO
        
        This project is still in an extremely early alpha stage. Tasks that still need 
        to be tackled:
        
        - Create endpoint for retrieving geohash data
        - Update the importer to:
        
            - Handle the creation of new Day objects and the update of existing Day 
              objects seperately so that we can use `bulk_create` to improve 
              performance.
            - Extrapolate data points beyond the maximum date when enough information
              is available to do so.
            - Add a `get_current_djia` management command to be used for retrieving
              today's opening value. Occasionally the various sources for the opening 
              value are initially inconsistent with one another. The management command 
              should handle this gracefully by waiting for consensus.
            - Add a seperate management command to be used for retrieving the current
              date. Sometimes one of the data sources for this will be temporarily 
              inconsistent with the others. The management command should handle this 
              automatically and only save the date once a consensus has been reached.
        
        - Add unit tests and docs
        - Run Flake8 against the codebase and fix any glaring PEP-8 violations
        - Set up Continuous Integration...integration
