title: How to access SAS dataset (available both n local derive and SAS server) from Python code?
body: <p>I am writing some code in Python with all the data available in SAS datasets both on Local hard drive and SAS server. The problem is how to access / import these datasets directly in my python program and then write back? Can anybody help. I have seen recommendation for python package "Sas7bdat" but not sure about it. is there anyway other way to get connected especially to the datasets available on the local derive (not on server)?</p>
