-# django-database-view
-
-A simple pluggable application that allows to work with database views.
-
-So far only MySQL is supported as backend, but more could be added if necessary.
-
-## Quick start
-
-1. In your models.py create classes which extend dbview.DbView like this:
-
-    ```python
-
-    from django.db import models
-    from dbview.models import DbView
-
-    class ModelA(models.Model):
-        fielda = models.CharField()
-        fieldc = models.IntegerField()
-
-    class MyView(DbView):
-        fieldA = models.OneToOneField(ModelA, primary_key=True,
-            db_column='fielda__id')
-        fieldB = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True, db_column='fieldb')
-
-        @classmethod
-        def view(cls):
-            '''
-            This method returns the SQL string that creates the view, in this
-            example fieldB is the result of annotating another column
-            '''
-            qs = modelA.objects.all().\
-                 annotate(fieldb=models.Sum('fieldc')) .\
-                 annotate(fielda__id=models.F('pk')) .\
-                 order_by('fielda__id') .\
-                 values('fielda__id', 'fieldb')
-            return str(qs.query)
-    ```
-
-Alternatively `get_view_str` method could be used to write a custom SQL:
-
-    ```python
-
-    class MyView(DbView):
-
-        # ...
-
-        @classmethod
-        def get_view_str(cls):
-            return """
-            CREATE VIEW my_view AS (
-                SELECT ...
-            )
-            """
-    ```
-
-2. Then create a migration point for your view generation, edit that migration
-and modify it, add: `from dbview.helpers import CreateView` and replace the
-line the call to `migrations.CreateModel` with `CreateView`.
-
-3. Migrate your database and start using your database views.

+A simple pluggable application that allows to work with database views.
+
+Quick start
+===========
+
+1. Install the package::
+
+    pip install django-database-models
+
+2. In your ``models.py`` create classes which extend ``dbview.models.DbView``
+   like this:
+
+   .. code-block:: python
+
+      from django.db import models
+      from dbview.models import DbView
+
+      class ModelA(models.Model):
+          fielda = models.CharField()
+          fieldc = models.IntegerField()
+
+      class MyView(DbView):
+          fieldA = models.OneToOneField(ModelA, primary_key=True,
+              db_column='fielda__id')
+          fieldB = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True, db_column='fieldb')
+
+          @classmethod
+          def view(cls):
+              """
+              This method returns the SQL string that creates the view,
+              in this example fieldB is the result of annotating another column
+              """
+              qs = modelA.objects.all(
+              ).annotate(
+                  fieldb=models.Sum('fieldc'),
+              ).annotate(
+                  fielda__id=models.F('pk'),
+              ).order_by(
+                  'fielda__id',
+              ).values(
+                  'fielda__id',
+                  'fieldb',
+              )
+              return str(qs.query)
+
+   Alternatively ``get_view_str`` method could be used to write a custom SQL:
+
+   .. code-block:: python
+
+       class MyView(DbView):
+           # ...
+
+           @classmethod
+           def get_view_str(cls):
+               return """
+                   CREATE VIEW my_view AS (
+                   SELECT ...
+               )"""
+
+3. Then create a migration point for your view generation, edit that
+   migration and modify it, add:
+   ``from dbview.helpers import CreateView`` and replace the line the
+   call to ``migrations.CreateModel`` with ``CreateView``.
+
+4. Migrate your database and start using your database views.
