Is it possible to read yxdb file using python (outside of altryx)?

I am new in altryx space, trying to figure out if we can read the altryx database (yxdb) file using python.

I do not believe there is a Python package for reading yxdb files.

 

There is a GitHub repo in C++ you can use as reference to build your own:

I built a package in Go for reading yxdb files. It might be easier to read than C++:

Actually there is one out there: "..\Alteryx\bin\PyYXDBReader.pyd".
