Is there a way to access a JET database from Python? I’m on Linux. All I found was a .mdb viewer in the repositories, but it’s very faulty. Thanks

MDB Tools is a set of open source libraries and utilities to facilitate exporting data from MS Access databases (mdb files) without using the Microsoft DLLs. Thus non Windows OSs can read the data. Or, to put it another way, they are reverse engineering the layout of the MDB file.
Jackcess is a pure Java library for reading from and writing to MS Access databases. It is part of the OpenHMS project from Health Market Science, Inc. . It is not an application. There is no GUI. It’s a library, intended for other developers to use to build Java applications.
ACCESSdb is a JavaScript library used to dynamically connect to and query locally available Microsoft Access database files within Internet Explorer.
Both Jackcess and ACCESSdb are much newer than MDB tools, are more active and have write support.
