WilliamSmithEdward/pyOpenVBA releases

Added

• AccessReader (EXPERIMENTAL) -- pure-Python read-only support for
  Microsoft Access .accdb / .mdb (ACE / Jet 4) databases:
  • AccessReader(path) parses the 4 KiB page-layout file header and
    validates the ACE / Jet signature.
  • iter_vba_modules() yields every embedded VBA module (VBAModule
    dataclass with name, start_offset, attributes_text, source).
    Modules are discovered by scanning for MS-OVBA stream signatures and
    walking the LVAL page chains they live on -- no Access COM, no
    MSysObjects parser required.
  • vba_module_names() deduplicates shadow / undo copies and returns
    the live module name list.
  • read_vba_module(name) returns the user-visible source string with
    \r\n line endings preserved; matches Access COM
    CodeModule.Lines() output byte-for-byte (verified on a 1000-line
    Module + 1000-line Class + 500-line Module live fixture against an
    Access COM oracle).
  • Re-exported from pyopenvba as AccessReader.
  • Write path (re-compress + re-allocate LVAL pages) is not implemented;
    Access support is read-only by design.

Changed

• BREAKING: Renamed pyopenvba.access module to pyopenvba.access_read
  and renamed the AccessFile class to AccessReader to make the
  read-only access posture explicit.
• Adopted strict static analysis: pyright typeCheckingMode = "strict"
  and a curated ruff lint configuration (E, F, W, B, UP, SIM, I, RUF, PIE, C4, PERF, N, TC, RET, TRY) now run clean across src/ and
  tests/ with 0 errors.

Removed

• Pruned ~1800 lines of dead Access write-path / probe code and the
  associated tests that exercised never-public APIs.
