*** Python 3.3.2 (v3.3.2:d047928ae3f6, May 16 2013, 00:03:43) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32. *** *** Remote Python engine is active *** >>> *** Remote Interpreter Reinitialized *** >>> <dbm.dumb._Database object at 0x02B95210> yoqaA.dat exists? True yoqaA.dir exists? True b'hello' b'there' >>> I would like to focus your attention, that flag "n" creates a database, but does not overwrite it once it is created.
