python - DBF - encoding cp1250 -

i have dbf database encoded in cp1250 , reading database using folowing code:

import csv dbfpy import dbf import os import sys  filename = sys.argv[1] if filename.endswith('.dbf'):     print "converting %s csv" % filename     csv_fn = filename[:-4]+ ".csv"     open(csv_fn,'wb') csvfile:         in_db = dbf.dbf(filename)         out_csv = csv.writer(csvfile)         names = []         field in in_db.header.fields:             names.append(field.name)         #out_csv.writerow(names)         rec in in_db:             out_csv.writerow(rec.fielddata)         in_db.close()         print "done..." else:   print "filename not end .dbf" 

problem is, final csv file wrong. encoding of file ansi , characters corrupted. ask you, if can me how read dbf file correctly.

i tried different code https://pypi.python.org/pypi/simpledbf/0.2.4, there error.

source 2:

from simpledbf import dbf5 import os import sys  dbf = dbf5('test.dbf', codec='cp1250'); dbf.to_csv('junk.csv'); 

output:

python program2.py traceback (most recent call last):   file "program2.py", line 5, in <module>     dbf = dbf5('test.dbf', codec='cp1250');   file "d:\programfiles\anaconda\lib\site-packages\simpledbf\simpledbf.py",      line 557, in __init__     assert terminator == b'\r' 

assertionerror

i don't know how solve problem.

try using my dbf library:

import dbf dbf.table('test.dbf') table:     dbf.export(table, 'junk.csv')
