IPython Magics for BigQuery
===========================

|GA| |pypi| |versions|

Querying massive datasets can be time consuming and expensive without the
right hardware and infrastructure. Google `BigQuery`_ solves this problem by
enabling super-fast, SQL queries against append-mostly tables, using the
processing power of Google's infrastructure.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Install this library in a `virtualenv`_ using pip. `virtualenv`_ is a tool to
create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of
dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

With `virtualenv`_, it's possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.
