The MaxL Python Module, Essbase.py, provides access to Oracle Essbase multi-dimensional databases from Python programs through MaxL. It is similar in function and usage to the Perl module Essbase.pm. The Essbase Python module interfaces with Oracle Essbase using a Python ctypes module wrapper for the primary MaxL dll (essmaxl.dll or essmaxlu.dll). The ctypes module is standard in Python 2.5+. Versions of the wrapper are included for Essbase 6.5 and for Essbase 7. The version 7 wrapper is also operational with Essbase 9.3.1.
