Download the latest source from http://pilcrow.madison.wi.us/#pycdb .
Untar it (tar xzf blahblah.tar.gz), cd into the directory that was
created and read the README.  In a nutshell,

$ python setup.py build
$ su
# python setup.py install

The install step (as root) will put cdbmodule.so in your site
directory.  On my system, that is /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages.

If you have multiple versions of Python on your system and typing just
plain "python" runs the older one, then you should explicitly use the
later one, like this

$ python2.2 setup.py build
# python2.2 setup.py install

Nothing.  The DBM stuff should be supported by Python without doing
anything extra.  Make sure you have LOGFILE_DEBUG set and just try the
-autodbm flag.  Then check that a DBM file was created (often with the
extension .db, though not necessarily) in the same directory as your
text file.  There will also be a timestamp file created of zero size
and, although I wrote the code, I forget what the filename is.  If
there are problems, the debug logfile should say what's going on.
