anydbm
is a front-end for DBM-style databases that use simple string values as keys to access records containing strings. It uses the whichdb
module to identify dbhash
, gdbm
, and dbm
databases, then opens them with the appropriate module. It is used as a backend for shelve
, which knows how to store objects using pickle
.
