Description
I just wanted to query a teradata database during a test, and I saw that the Database Library would be useful, though when trying it out I noticed that I need teradata module.
From the documentation it looks like the package I need is https://github.com/teradata/PyTd. Unfortunately that repo has not been touched in 4 years and it has a depreciation notice pointing me to use https://github.com/Teradata/python-driver instead, but that package is called teradatasql and doesn't look like Database Library recognizes it.
What is the proper way to talk to teradata?

Research direction
Start by tracing how Database Library discovers and loads database modules, then compare the documented teradata/PyTd path with Teradata's teradatasql package. Confirm the supported connection workflow and identify the documentation or tests needed; done means a Teradata query works through the library using the current driver.
