What operating system? If windows, you can set up an ODBC for dBase using 
the data sources applet. Let's say you call it "boreland".

Then:
import odbc
conn = odbc.odbc('boreland')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('select * from table')
rows = cursor.fetchall()

Now you have a sequence of rows, each row being a sequence of columnvalues

There is, as I recall, a CSV module that will create CSV files.
