What is the best way (lowest computational cost) to convert a .dbf file into a .csv file without using win32com.client or other packages dependent on microsoft software?
You can read dBase files using the dbf package. The package includes support for writing tables to CSV directly, or you could write your own with the The Writer class from the
csvstandard library module if you need more control.Being pure Python it may not be the fastest solution available, but it should be portable.
