-## Quirks
-
-This library aims to be compatible with the old ScraperWiki Classic library,
-which was itself quite quirky.
-
-It's not an exact drop in replacement, this document describes the differences.
-
-## Differences
-
-### Datastore differences
-
-The local `scraperwiki.sqlite` is powered by
-[SQLAlchemy](http://sqlalchemy.org), so some things
-work a bit differently.
-
-Data is stored to a local sqlite database named `scraperwiki.sqlite`.
-
-Bizarre table and column names are supported.
-
-`scraperwiki.sqlite.execute` will return an empty list of keys on an
-empty select statement result.
-
-`scraperwiki.sqlite.attach` downloads the whole datastore from ScraperWiki, the first time it runs; it then uses the cached database
-
-### Other Differences
-
-## Status of implementation
-In general, features that have not been implemented raise a `NotImplementedError`.
-
-### Datastore
-`scraperwiki.sqlite` may implement some less explored features
-of its API slightly differently from ScraperWiki.
-
-### Utils
-`scraperwiki.utils` is implemented, as well as the following functions.
-
-* `scraperwiki.log`
-* `scraperwiki.scrape`
-* `scraperwiki.pdftoxml`
-
-### Deprecated
-These submodules are deprecated and thus will not be implemented.
-
-* `scraperwiki.apiwrapper`
-* `scraperwiki.datastore`
-* `scraperwiki.jsqlite`
-* `scraperwiki.metadata`
-* `scraperwiki.newsql`
-* `scraperwiki.sqlite.attach`
-* `scraperwiki.utils.swimport`
-* `scraperwiki.geo`
-* `scraperwiki.log`
-
-verbose parameter to various functions is deprecated
-
-### Specs
-Here are some ScraperWiki scrapers that demonstrate the non-local library's quirks.

 ==========================
 
 This is a Python library for scraping web pages and saving data.
-It is the easiest way to save data on the ScraperWiki platform, and it
-can also be used locally or on your own servers.

+**The library has been updated to work with Python 3.14 but there are no guarantees on future maintenance.**

 Currently only supports SQLite. It will make a local SQLite database.
 It is based on `SQLAlchemy <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SQLAlchemy>`_.
-You should expect it to support other SQL databases at a later date.
