title: What's the easiest way to read a FoxPro DBF file from Python?
body: <p>I've got a bunch of FoxPro (VFP9) DBF files on my Ubuntu system, is there a library to open these in Python?  I only need to read them, and would preferably have access to the memo fields too.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>: Thanks @cnu, I used Yusdi Santoso's <a href="http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/santoso/dbf.py.src" rel="noreferrer"><code>dbf.py</code></a> and it works nicely.  One gotcha: The memo file name extension must be lower case, i.e. <code>.fpt</code>, not <code>.FPT</code> which was how the filename came over from Windows.</p>
