Great little script, looks like it could be the godsend I'm looking for in terms of getting legacy dbf files into something more usable.

That said I'm having an encoding issue - my DBF files use BIG5 (Traditional Chinese) and I'm getting the following error back:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa7 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

I see dbfread has an encoding option - any chance you could add an extra option into your script so we specify the DBF encoding when needed?

Fixed bug when trying to convert dbf files in national encodings.
Now you can set dbf file encoding with --codepage option.
