Agreed, benchmarks should be run. > Subclasses to > offer different order by semantics (see the version I uploaded for an > example)? If you like, but "ordering semantics" is something which is just as easily done in Python, so I don't understand the point of integrating it in the dbm layer... > Consistent behavior wrt dictionaries? It sounds like an example of foolish consistency to me. The performance characteristics are certainly too different to consider dbm.anything a transparent replacement for standard dicts. And dbm.sqlite only accepts strings, not the wide range of datatypes that dicts accept as keys and values... so, given the big picture, I don't see why you care about such a mostly pointless detail. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3783> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
