Apologies in advance if this is already a time-worn question!
We are essentially a "SAS shop" and use Base SAS, Enterprise Guide and E-Miner for statistical and predictive modeling purposes, often working on big datasets (30M rows of 100+ columns). There are some applications for which we have had to craft Python solutions, such as interfacing with ArcView to automate the generation of map overelays from shapefiles, but the vast majority of our work is well-handled by our SAS suite. However, in the interest of expanding our skillset (and hedging our bets), we are investigating whether anyone has yet developed a Python module that can read SAS datasets directly? Thank you! RJones
