Question 1 - What version of VFP will dbf work with? Is VFP9 OK?

Question 2 - You statement of compatibility is unclear.

Works with PyPy, OK.

Hopefully works with other implementations, Hm, what does this mean?

Works or hopefully works with CPython -- which is it?

I guess that Ethan means that his library definitely works with PyPy and 
CPython, because he has tested it on those, and that he expects that it 
will work with Stackless, Jython, IronPython, and any other compliant 
Python interpreter, but hasn't tested on them.

> Works or hopefully works with CPython -- which is it?

I agree that the sentence is unclear, but my reading of it is that it 
works on CPython.
