Python module for Dbase files?

I don't really need to use Dbase but I need something that works with DOS
and is platform independent.

I found XBase which is an open source C++ database library that uses dbase
data structures and is platform independent. If Python does not already have
Dbase access, I guess I will have to figure out how to put a Python wrapper
around Xbase.

What is SWIG?
