Data Transport - 1.0
Steve L. Nyemba, The Phi Technology LLC

This module is designed to serve as a wrapper to a set of supported data stores :
    - couchdb
    - mongodb
    - Files (character delimited)
    - Queues (RabbmitMq)
    - Session (Flask)
    - s3
The supported operations are read/write and providing meta data to the calling code
Requirements :
	pymongo
	boto
	couldant
The configuration for the data-store is as follows :
	couchdb:
		{
			args:{
				url:<url>,
				username:<username>,
				password:<password>,
				dbname:<database>,
		
		
# 		return ncols;
# 	def format (self,row):
# 		"""
# 			This function will clean records of a given row by removing non-ascii characters
# 			@pre self.xchar is not None
# 		"""
		
# 		if isinstance(row,list) == False:
# 			#
# 			# We've observed sometimes fields contain delimiter as a legitimate character, we need to be able to account for this and not tamper with the field values (unless necessary)
# 			cols = self.split(row)
# 			#cols = row.split(self.xchar)
# 		else:
# 			cols = row ;
# 		return [ re.sub('[^\x00-\x7F,\n,\r,\v,\b,]',' ',col.strip()).strip().replace('"','') for col in cols]
		
# 	def split (self,row):
# 		"""
# 			This function performs a split of a record and tries to attempt to preserve the integrity of the data within i.e accounting for the double quotes.
# 			@pre : self.xchar is not None
# 		""" 

# 		pattern = "".join(["(?:^|",self.xchar,")(\"(?:[^\"]+|\"\")*\"|[^",self.xchar,"]*)"])
# 		return re.findall(pattern,row.replace('\n',''))
