Querying DBF w/out Iterating

1
Instead of itereating through my half-million plus records, I'm looking for a way to query the records and return a subset of records.

Q: Does dbfpy have that functionality?
Q: Or is there a means of performing a query that returns a subset of records without iterating over every record?


Currently I load all the records into an array:

for rec2 in db2:
rList.append(rec2)

From there I iterate over the elements to identify the records which meet some condition.

This is tedious.
I'll take any suggestions that work better than iterating.
