Install

PyQvd is a Python library available through pypi. The recommended way to install and maintain PyQvd as a dependency is through the package installer (PIP). Before installing this library, download and install Python.

To use PyQvd, first install it using pip:

(.venv) $ pip install PyQvd

Usage

For a detailed overview of the library's API, please refer to the documentation. Below is a quick example how to use PyQvd.

from pyqvd import QvdTable

tbl = QvdTable.from_qvd("path/to/file.qvd")
print(tbl.head())

The above example loads the PyQvd library and parses an example QVD file. A QVD file is typically loaded using the static QvdTable.from_qvd function of the QvdTable class itself. After loading the file's content, numerous methods and properties are available to work with the parsed data.
