Originally coded during a break in work, I've picked this python script back up to turn it into a more mature program. Current version guide

Changes Made

  • Converted from a procedural program in a single file to an object oriented design
  • Converted the GUI library from Tkinter to PyGTK
  • Added progress bar with time elapsed/remaining/total/ETA
  • Added button for aborting the output

Changes in Progress

Three big things to do next:

  • Field Calculations
  • More data formats
  • Sample output (need to build indices in the background)

Planned Changes

  • Polish new gui a little, try to fix the scrollbar-not-appearing issue
  • Support for other data formats besided dbf (csv and sqllite are easiest)
  • Field calculations with the same format as the ArcGIS field calculator
  • Ability to save a configuration of input/output files for tasks that get repeated
  • Display %/count unjoined/joined records
  • Create a wrapper for demdbf library to test it against dbfpy
  • popup window when you click the value field that is like a field calculator lists of available fields
  • start building index in a forked process the moment a join is added
  • real time generation of a sample of the output with the current configuration
