"""A dumb and slow but simple dbm clone. For database spam, spam.dir contains the index (a text file), spam.bak *may* contain a backup of the index (also a text file), while spam.dat contains the data (a binary file). XXX TO DO: - seems to contain a bug when updating... - reclaim free space (currently, space once occupied by deleted or expanded items is never reused) - support concurrent access (currently, if two processes take turns making updates, they can mess up the index) - support efficient access to large databases (currently, the whole index is read when the database is opened, and some updates rewrite the whole index) - support opening for read-only (flag = 'm') """ import ast as _ast import os as _os import __builtin__ import UserDict _open = __builtin__.open _BLOCKSIZE = 512 error = IOError # For anydbm class _Database(UserDict.DictMixin): # The on-disk directory and data files can remain in mutually # inconsistent states for an arbitrarily long time (see comments # at the end of __setitem__).
