Decompress DATASUS's dbc files into dbf files

datasus-dbc-py

Decompress *.dbc files usually found in Brazil's DATASUS ftp server into *.dbf files in python.

This are python bindings of the sibling library datasus-dbc which is written in rust. This library should be compatible with most platforms.

Examples

To decompress a *.dbc file into a *.dbf use decompress function:

import datasus_dbc

datasus_dbc.decompress("input.dbc", "output.dbc")

If you have a *.dbc file's raw bytes, you can use decompress_bytes to get the decompressed *.dbf raw bytes in memory:

import datasus_dbc

with open("input.dbc", "rb") as file:
    dbf_bytes = datasus_dbc.decompress_bytes(file.read())
    print(dbf_bytes)
