Description: Summary
        -------
        
        Add types and functions to work with geometric attributes that are stored in a
        Postgis database (that is a PostgreSQL database with Postgis extension
        enabled).
        
        The present cube supports only version *2.0 and later* of Postgis.
        
        It introduces one new type when defining attributes in the data model schema:
        
        * a ``Geometry`` type. Additionally, you should give the following elements
          along with a `Geometry` attribute:
        
          * ``geom_type``. The Postgis type of geometries that this attribute will
            accept, for example ``POINT``, ``MULTILINESTRING`` or ``POLYGON``,
        
          * ``srid``. The spatial reference system the geometry coordinates will live
            in. This is an integer and a foreign key that must match the ``srid`` key
        in the ``spatial_ref_sys`` table. Most of the time, it will be the same as the
        spatial system EPSG code,
        
          * ``coord_dimension``. The number of dimensions used by geometries. Defaults
            to 2.
        
        Then you can also use geometric functions like ``ST_INTERSECTS``, ``ST_WITHIN``
        or ``ST_UNION`` to work with this new type.
        
        See `Postgis manual`_ for reference documentation about Postgis.

        Example
        -------
        
        In ``schema.py``, one can declare a ``City`` entity like the following.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            class City(EntityType):
                name = String(required=True)
                geometry = Geometry(geom_type='POLYGON', srid=4326)
