Not only is this inconsistent with the rest of Python*, but it's going to be a PITA for data storage/retrieval: datastore = dbf.Table('storage.dbf', 'eventname C(50); date D; season SEASON') def retrieverecord(...): result = [] for fieldtype, fielddata in record: result.append(fieldtype(fielddata))
