Reading Dbase files

[Leo Noordhuizen]

I am trying to read .dbf files using the (old) dbf.py module (version 0.2
1999/11/12 written
by Michal Spalinski. This seemed to work quite well, untill I found out that
records which apparantly
have been deleted are also read as 'normal'...
In other words: not really useable or at least not compatible with this
format of .dbf files.

I am looking for advise how to proceed. I really need this functionality and
should like to keep on using Python.

Thanks, Leo
