Hello,

>>> import dbf
>>> t = dbf.Table("/tmp/test.dbf")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbf/ver_33.py", line 4761, in __init__
raise DbfError(str(e)) from None
dbf.ver_33.DbfError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/tmp/test.dbf'
It seems that the code uses "r+b" for opening files "read only", and "w+b" to
open them read-write, forgetting that the "+" stands for "update".
