<br>One tiny reason: People tend to forget that they can pull things from SVN history, when an isolated file disappears. I'm expecting someday someone's going to want to add bsddb - when they do, dbm.py might be a decent starting point (but it likely has memory leaks that were corrected in gdbm.py).<br>

</div>Any reason not to just delete dbm.py? This attic stuff is annoying, and<br>
if necessary you can still get the file from svn history.<br>
