That's another option.  The caveat is that dbfpy specifically states that it 
only works on "simple" files.  I'm pretty sure ODBC is universal.

The nice thing about using ODBC is that:

1) Nothing to install, every Windows machine has ODBC
2) If you upgrade to some other ODBC compliant database you have little or no 
changes that are required to your application.

Just my 2 cents.
