I got rid of "Can’t allocate filename" error replacing subprocess.call(["mdb-export", "-I", "mysql", DATABASE, table]) with subprocess.call(["mdb-export", "-I", DATABASE, table])

My guess is that you can, but I think you should check the mdb-tools website to make sure.

Can I run it on a Mac? Any way to install mdbtools on Mac?

This seems to happen (at least for me) when the database filename is incorrect. Are you sure you’re passing the filename correctly (properly escaped etc.)?
