Creating SAS7BDAT data for testing

[Former user]

Hi,

Very useful package, and I appreciate the Python 3 support! I was wondering about creating test data. I don't see an easy way to create SAS7BDAT data (either in memory or on disk) for testing my code. Any ideas here?

Unfortunately, there is no write support in the library. As far as test files, there are plenty of files on the internet you can test with (I've collected around 350 or so that I use). Try this google search: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=filetype%3Asas7bdat

Since the sas7bdat format is closed source and this library is based on reverse engineering of the format, write support probably won't be added unless the format is opened up.
