The autodbm support wasn't that trivial actually. It's advantage is convenience, as DBM comes with Python, and you have to install an extension module to get CDB. > I like cdb because it seems to be more lightweight than the > many varieties of DBMs (Berkeley more so than others). Lightweight, slightly better performance, more robust under adverse conditions, a standard interface across platforms, and built-in atomic database replacement are some advantages that come to mind. I prefer CDB. I might not have added DBM support if Python shipped with a cdb module. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
