Speed Extensions
----------------
You can gain some speed improvement by optionally installing the ujson_ library.
Tablib will fallback to the standard `json` module if it doesn't find ``ujson``.
.. _ujson: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ujson
.. _updates:
Staying Updated
---------------
The latest version of Tablib will always be available here:
* PyPi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tablib/
* GitHub: http://github.com/kennethreitz/tablib/
When a new version is available, upgrading is simple::
