Create a new table with columns converted into rows values.
For example:
+---------+----------+--------+-------+
| name | gender | race | age |
+=========+==========+========+=======+
| Jane | female | black | 24 |
+---------+----------+--------+-------+
| Jack | male | white | 35 |
+---------+----------+--------+-------+
| Joe | male | black | 28 |
+---------+----------+--------+-------+
can be normalized on columns 'gender', 'race' and 'age':
+---------+-----------+---------+
| name | property | value |
+=========+===========+=========+
| Jane | gender | female |
+---------+-----------+---------+
| Jane | race | black |
+---------+-----------+---------+
| Jane | age | 24 |
+---------+-----------+---------+
| ... | ... | ... |
+---------+-----------+---------+
This is the opposite of :meth:`.Table.denormalize`.
:param key:
A column name or a sequence of column names that should be
maintained as they are in the normalized self. Typically these
are the tables unique identifiers and any metadata about them.
:param properties:
A column name or a sequence of column names that should be
converted to properties in the new self.
:param property_column:
The name to use for the column containing the property names.
:param value_column:
The name to use for the column containing the property values.
:param column_types:
A sequence of two column types for the property and value column in
that order or an instance of :class:`.TypeTester`. Defaults to a
generic :class:`.TypeTester`.
:returns:
A new :class:`.Table`.
