dbfpy Description

An open source Python based module for reading and writing DBF-files dbfpy can read and write simple DBF-files. The DBF-format was developed about 30 years ago and was used by a number of simple database applications (dBase, Foxpro, Clipper, ...). The basic datatypes numbers, dates, and short text are available. Many different extensions have been used; dbfpy can write and read only simple DBF-files. Here are some key features of "dbfpy": · The most important use is reading old DBF-files created by other programs. · DBF-files can be imported by most tabular data handling programs like Excel, Access, etc. If you want to generate tabular data for import into these programs from a python-script dbfpy would be an option. · Some rather recent programs still use dbf for data storage. The GIS-application ArcView is one of them. What's New in This Release: · Ignore leading and trailing zero bytes in numeric fields.
