Opening .DBF files as read-only with the dbf Python module
dbf, python
Solution
Cool, thanks! :)
At this point, you need to specify the open mode when you call `thisTable.open()`, like this:
thisTable.open(mode='read-only')
or
thisTable.open(mode=dbf.READ_ONLY)
Oh, and here's the PyPI link to the module.
Problem
First of all, the dbf module is great. I've been using it with great success. I'm trying to open a dbf file on a network share which is a read-only file system. When I try to open it like this, I get an error which says that the .dbf file is read-only. ``` thisTable = dbf.Table('/volumes/readOnlyVolume/thisFile.dbf') thisTable.open() ``` Looking at the documentation, it looks like there's a way to open a table in read-only mode, but I can't figure it out. If you have a second, would you be able to help me out? Thanks! Kyle
