SQLAlchemy utilities for normalising / denormalising table data, useful for CSV

Where a table is normalised to have "lookup tables" of values
referred to by e.g. a numeric foreign-key ID, these functions will
enable extraction of the data (or conversely, loading from such)
with the looked-up values substituted in. Among other things, this
allows more human-friendly data editing in e.g. a spreadsheet.

Example::

from sqlalchemy_csv_normalise import denormalise_prepare
q, col_names = denormalise_prepare(db.session, table)
filename = table_to_filename(table)
with open(filename, 'w', newline='') as csv_file:
csv_file_writer = csv.writer(csv_file)
csv_file_writer.writerow(col_names)
csv_file_writer.writerows(q.all())

from sqlalchemy_csv_normalise import renormalise_prepare, empty_deleter,\
type_coercer
row_maker = renormalise_prepare(db.session, table)
row_cleaner = empty_deleter(table)
row_coercer = type_coercer(table)
filename = table_to_filename(table)
with open(filename, newline='') as csv_file:
for d in csv.DictReader(csv_file):
row = row_coercer(row_cleaner(row_maker(d)))
db.session.add(table(**row))
db.session.commit()

Features
--------

* denormalise_prepare(session, table, colname_tidier)

Returns SQLAlchemy query, and the column-names it will return.
The query will denormalise any foreign keys (FKs) if they refer to a
table with a unique column that is not its primary key.

The names of any FK columns will have `_id` taken off the end
as a simple heuristic. Override this by providing a `colname_tidier`.

* empty_deleter(table)

Returns function that returns given dict minus empty strings for nullable
columns.
Useful because CSV has no way to record NULL.

* type_coercer(table)

Returns function that given a row dict will coerce values.
Works on dates and booleans.
Will only operate on strings, so if you have pass in a row that has already
got non-string values, they will not be affected.

* renormalise_prepare(session, table, colname_tidier)

Returns function that will renormalise given dictionary
Does the inverse of denormalise_prepare.
