+
+   A SQLite database blob has the following attributes and methods:
+
+.. method:: Blob.close()
+
+   Close the blob now (rather than whenever __del__ is called).
+
+   The blob will be unusable from this point forward; an Error (or subclass)
+   exception will be raised if any operation is attempted with the blob.
+
+.. method:: Blob.length()
+
+   Return the blob size.
+
+.. method:: Blob.read([length])
+
+   Read lnegth bytes of data from the blob at the current offset position. If the
+   end of the blob is reached we will return the data up to end of file. When 
+   length is not specified or negative we will read up to end of blob.
+
+.. method:: Blob.write(data)
+
+   Write data to the blob at the current offset. This function cannot changed blob
+   length. If data write will result in writing to more then blob current size an 
+   error will be raised.
+
+.. method:: Blob.tell()
+
+   Return the current offset of the blob.
+
+.. method:: Blob.seek(offset, [whence])
+
+   Set the blob offset. The whence argument is optional and defaults to os.SEEK_SET 
+   or 0 (absolute blob positioning); other values are os.SEEK_CUR or 1 (seek 
+   relative to the current position) and os.SEEK_END or 2 (seek relative to the blob’s end).
