[pypy-dev] gdbm

[Dan Stromberg]

Yes, the dbm module in pypy is basically like the bsddb module in cpython.

cpython includes modules for bsddb, gdbm, and more.

I tend to prefer gdbm over bsddb, because I've seen bsddb databases get
corrupt too many times - EG, when a filesystem overflows.  bsddb might be a
little faster though; I've never compared their performance.
