Hi Victor,
You might be interested in 'pxview':
http://pxlib.sourceforge.net/pxview.html
which can extract CSV-formatted files out of Paradox Database files. Once
you have your data in CSV format, then Python's "csv" module can come into
play:
http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-csv.html
Alternatively, you might be able to use the pxlib Python bindings
directly. According to:
http://pxlib.sourceforge.net/documentation.php?manpage=pxlib
a Python binding exists somewhere out there, though I haven't been able to
find it yet... ok, found it, but it appears you might need to check it out
of CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pxlib/bindings/
so this might not be as easy to use right out of the box.
