Paul> Unfortunately windows does not seem to support gdbm. That is a known issue, but one that can be solved I think by getting rid of the old 1.85 version of BerkDB and using something more modern. I believe the current bsddb module in recent Python versions supports BerkDB 3.x and 4.x. Sleepycat got bought by Oracle awhile ago. I believe you can download 4.7 from here:
