The Python wrappers for BerkeleyDB 3.1.17 (http://www.sleepycat.com/) are available at http://pybsddb.sourceforge.net/. Berkeley DB is a programmatic toolkit that provides high-performance built-in database support for desktop and server applications. The Berkeley DB access methods include B+tree, Extended Linear Hashing, Fixed and Variable-length records, and Queues. Berkeley DB provides full transactional support, database recovery, online backups, multi-threaded and multi-process access, etc. The Python wrappers allow you to store Python string objects of any length, keyed either by strings or integers depending on the database access method. With the use of another module in the package standard shelve-like functionality is provided allowing you to store any picklable Python object! Changes in this release include the following: * Lots of bugs fixed. * General code cleanup and some refactoring. * Better support for building on many different platforms. * Better build/install docs. * More and better unit tests. * Added DBLock type and methods to DBEnv for acquiring and releasing arbitrary locks. * Partial record reads/writes, and class for doing it in a file-like way. * Classes added for doing lightweight table-like access using a DB for storage. * Various other methods added. The focus of the next release will be support for the recently released BerkeleyDB 3.2.9. -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman robin@AllDunn.com Java give you jitters? http://wxPython.org Relax with wxPython!
