I have used this code, in various forms, to read .dbf files.

It includes some experimental code to write to .dbf files.

This code may provide a starting point for others.

Files:

dbf.py reads (and possibly writes) .dbf file data directly from disk

dbfload.py reads an entire .dbf file into memory, provides access to data

binnum.py a module to decode/encode binary numbers

strutil.py a module of string utilities

dbfnew.py a module to create new .dbf files

county.dbf a sample .dbf file

readme.txt this file

dbfpy.tgz the distribution tarball

dbf.py and dbfload.py are independent ways to access .dbf files.
