When will they fix Python _dbm?

2016-12-05 Thread clvanwall 
I have been a Perl programmer for 15+ years and decided to give Python a try.  
My platform is windows and I installed the latest 3.5.2. Next I decided to 
convert a perl program that uses a ndbm database since according to the doc on 
python, it should be able to work with it.  Needless to say, I get: dbm.error: 
db type is dbm.ndbm, but the module is not available
Searching on Python Bug Tracker shows _dbm missing back in 03-03-2012!  That's 
a long time for a bug to be left open.

2016-12-09 Thread clvanwall 



I have been looking for a simple indexed file database and Berkley-db was what 
I waa used to.  I found that bsddb module was removed from Python3.  Is there a 
replacement for it?
