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.

``google-cloud-happybase``
--------------------------
In addition to the core ``google-cloud-bigtable``, we provide a
`google-cloud-happybase
<http://google-cloud-python-happybase.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ library
with the same interface as the popular `HappyBase
<https://happybase.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ library. Unlike HappyBase,
``google-cloud-happybase`` uses ``google-cloud-bigtable`` under the covers,
rather than Apache HBase.
