title: How to remotely query sas7bdat file in Python
body: <p>I am trying to query a database stored in SAS's sas7bdat file format using Python (I don't have SAS).  The sas7bdat file is stored on a remote server that I can access through an SSH connection with paramiko, but is too large to simply read with Python's sas7bdat module or to download locally.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone think of a way to use the SSH connection to <em>query</em> the sas7bdat file, and load the query results into Python (Pandas DataFrame, etc)?  Or perhaps a completely different approach?</p>
