dvp-tran/sas7bdat

A fork of Python sas7bdat reader http://git.pyhacker.com/sas7bdat that produces HDF5 from SAS sas7bdat files

sas7bdat.py

This module will read sas7bdat files using pure Python (2.6+). 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

Also included with this library is a simple command line script, sas7bdat_to_csv, which converts sas7bdat files to csv files. It will also print out header information and meta data using the --header option and it will batch convert files as well. Use the --help option for more information.

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:

1. Read only. No write support.
2. Can't read compressed data.

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!
