+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.
