I am looking for a programatic way to access content in a Lotus Notes database (.nsf file) without having Lotus Notes software installed.

Python would be preferred but I'm also willing to look at other languages e.g. C/C++ or other means e.g. SQL

From what I have read, all of the methods e.g. Python COM access, pyodbc rely on having Lotus Notes server software installed.

The problem I am trying to solve is to read the content and look for references (URL's back to a web site that is undergoing maintenance and the addresses in the web site will change) As a start, I want to get a list of references and hope to be able to replace them with the new references to the modified web site.

Any ideas on how best to do this welcome :)

At my work we use Lotus Notes 6.5 for our email, meeting scheduling and instant messaging. I can't stand the horrible UI, buggy meeting scheduling and overall '90s feel when using it and would love to replace it with open-source alternatives. So far I've been able to setup Thunderbird for email,… >>> More
