The biggest remaining change is to go through the python-api.rst documentation and replace all the db["table"] things with the newly recommended db.table("...") syntax.

I used VS Code search and replace:

db\["(.*?)"\]

Replace with:

db.table("$1")

I'm worried I may have clobbered some view examples though. Need to check for that.

Before landing this I should fix the 2 lines of missing coverage.
