I don't have experience, but I do have Google.

http://starship.python.net/crew/bwilk/access.html

This page admits to being somewhat outdated but might give some pointers as
to how to read an Access database from Python. Unfortunately you apparently
have to do this on a machine with a Jet DB engine running, which means
Windows; fortunately it looks like SQL is available in the queries (at least
the example given contains a SQL query).

Ideally there would be a native Python module that would read Access and
FileMaker tables (maybe even entire databases) and spit them back out in CSV
or some other easily exportable format.
