Guess what? This isn't true! :eyeroll:

I've just about had it with google lately. Are there no humans that check the output anymore?? Is everything now? Sheesh! This is horrible!!

If you need to export a Microsoft Access database while on macOS or Linux, this might do the trick:

  1. brew install mdbtools
  2. pip install pandas_access
  3. In a Python session:
file_name = ‘path_to_access_file.mdb’  
for table in mdb.list_tables(file_name):  
 df = mdb.read_table(file_name, table)  
 df.to_excel(f'{file_name}-{table}.xlsx')  

You're welcome! (Including myself in the future…)

I've updated the CSS style of my Pelican blog to increase the accessibility of code snippets in my articles ♿

You can see it in action for example in this article 👇

On GNOME, live coding during a presentation and need quick access to snippets? (e.g., that URL for something, etc.)

Check out the Copier GNOME extension. You set it up with the path of a directory where you have .txt files stores and it lets you select them from a system menu and copies the one you selected to the clipboard.

Simple. Beautiful. Love it! (Took me ages to find this.) )
