+
+sqlconvert is a library to perform SQL conversions. It uses sqlparse to
+parse SQL and SQLObject to escape SQL strings and handle connections to DB
+backends.
+
+The library is in the early stage of development and currently cannot do
+much.
+
+The first goal is to implement mysql2sql, a script intended primarily to
+convert mysqldump output (especially with extended INSERT syntax) to
+standard SQL to load at least to PostgreSQL or SQLite.
