As a newbie (welcome aboard, by the way) you will come to value a web site
known as the Vaults of Parnassus (http://www.vex.net/parnassus/), which
contains many useful Python modules and programs.

Take a look at http://www.vex.net/parnassus/apyllo.py?find=foxpro -- I think
this will suit your needs quite well. (Note also it uses Python to search
its database).

Good luck!
