Description: **************************
        SPARQL HTTP client library
        **************************
        
        `sparql-client` is a library to query a SPARQL endpoint. It will automatically
        convert literals to the coresponding Python types.
        
        Visit http://www.eionet.europa.eu/software/sparql-client/ for documentation and
        examples.
        
        
        API
        ---
        
        First you open a connection to the endpoint::
        
            s = sparql.Service(endpoint, "utf-8", "GET")
        
        Then you make the query::
        
            result = s.query(statement)
        
        If you have made a SELECT query, then you can read the result with fetchone() or fetchall()::
        
            for row in result.fetchone():
        
        If you have made an ASK query, then you can read the result (a boolean value) with hasresult():
        
            works = result.hasresult()
        
        
        Conversion of data types
        ------------------------
        
        The library will automatically convert typed literals to a coresponding
        simple type in Python. Dates are also converted if the dateutil_ library is
        available.
        
        .. _dateutil: http://labix.org/python-dateutil
        
        
        Running the unit tests
        ----------------------
        
        If you have nose_ installed, just run ``nosetests`` in the top-level directory.
        Some tests require the python-dateutil_ (version 1.5) or mock_ libraries.
        Tested under Python 2.4 through 2.7.
