Accessing a JET (.mdb) database in Python

Question

Is there a way to access a JET database from Python? I\'m on Linux. All I found was a .mdb viewer in the repositories, but it\'s very faulty. Thanks

Install your distribution's packaged version of mdbtools, use mdb-export to export the Jet data to text files, import the data into a SQLite database, and have a combination of code and data that works in almost any computing environment you might get your hands on.
