| 11 | Description: Python CDB (constant database) library |
| 12 | D. J. Bernstein's cdb library adapted as a python extension module. You |
| 13 | probably already know that cdb files are mappings of keys to values (c.f., |
| 14 | dbm and friends), designed for wickedly fast lookups and atomic updates. |
| 15 | . |
| 16 | This interface presents cdb files as (surprise!) mapping objects with a few |
| 17 | special features. In general, the module tries to mimic the functionality of |
| 18 | the normal cdb utilities. |
