McKenna Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0), python-dev (>= 2.3) | python2.3-dev Standards-Version: 3.5.2 Package: python-cdb Architecture: any Depends: ${python:Depends} Description: Python CDB (constant database) library D. J. Bernstein's cdb library adapted as a python extension module. You probably already know that cdb files are mappings of keys to values (c.f., dbm and friends), designed for wickedly fast lookups and atomic updates. . This interface presents cdb files as (surprise!) mapping objects with a few special features. In general, the module tries to mimic the functionality of the normal cdb utilities.
