It exposes a simple API to list tables, parse individual tables into Python data structures, and iterate over database contents programmatically.\n\nThe library is designed for scenarios where you need to extract data from legacy Access databases into Python for analysis, migration, or integration. It has no runtime dependencies, keeping deployments lightweight, but comes as a source distribution with high install friction. The maintainers note that testing has covered only a limited subset of database files, so compatibility with all Access versions and edge cases is not guaranteed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to read Access databases in Python and can tolerate high install friction and dormant maintenance. The library has no runtime dependencies, a permissive license, and no known vulnerabilities. However, expect limited compatibility testing and slow response to new issues; verify it works with your specific database files before relying on it in production."},"id":"access-parser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/access-parser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/access-parser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/access-parser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-01-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"access-parser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Access database (*.mdb, *.accdb) parser"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":82946,"position":14119,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.6"}
