A sas7bdat file reader for Python
Project description
This module will read sas7bdat files using pure Python. No SAS software required! The module started out as a port of the R script of the same name found here: <https://github.com/BioStatMatt/sas7bdat>
As is, I’ve successfully tested the script on around a hundred sample files I found on the internet. For the most part, it works well. The known issues right now are:
Read only. No write support.
Can’t read compressed data.
Can’t read 64-bit data (I don’t have any 64 bit sample data that isn’t compressed so I can’t implement this yet).
I’m sure there are more issues that I haven’t come across yet. Please let me know if you come across a data file that isn’t supported and doesn’t fall into one of the known issues above and I’ll see if I can add support for the file.
Feel free to fork this project and send me pull requests!
