dbfpy is a python-only module for reading and writing DBF-files.
EditByBSEditor: dbfpy is a python-only 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, short text, and dates are available. Many different extensions have been used; dbfpy can read and write only simple DBF-files.

* 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.

... if you need to store data for internal use in a python program. dbfpy does not provide any of the features of a Modern database application. Use a database system like PostgreSQL, Oracle or MySQL for everyday data storage. Take SQLite if you want to go lightweight. you can free download dbfpy 2.2.5 now.
