libopenschichtplaner5: A Python Library for Reading/Writing Schichtplaner5 FoxPro .DBF Files
Summary
This is a technical documentation page for libopenschichtplaner5, a Python library that reads and writes FoxPro/dBASE .DBF database files used by the proprietary Schichtplaner5 Windows tool. The library enables an open-source replacement (OpenSchichtplaner5) to operate on the same data without migration. It covers the package's import naming convention (pip-installable as libopenschichtplaner5, imported as sp5lib), and references documentation for DBF format notes, calculation features, and an ORM guide for SQLite/PostgreSQL sync.

so an open replacement can run on the exact same data as the proprietary Windows tool, with no migration.
the distribution is libopenschichtplaner5, but the importable package keeps its historical name sp5lib (like pip install PyYAML → import yaml)
