A python interface to djb's cdb library
GPL-2.0 License
The python-cdb
extension module is an adaptation of D. J. Bernstein's constant database package.
cdb
files are mappings of keys to values, designed for wickedly fast lookups and atomic updates. This module mimics the normal cdb
utilities, cdb(get|dump|make)
, via convenient, high-level Python objects.
tar zxf python-cdb-$VERSION.tgz
cd python-cdb-$VERSION
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
# python setup.py bdist --format=rpm, if you prefer
Now break it and tell me about it (or use it smoothly and tell me about that, too).
Consult the docstrings for module, class, and function documentation.
python -c 'import cdb; print cdb.__doc__'
python -c 'import cdb; print cdb.cdbmake("f.cdb","f.tmp").__doc__'
python -c 'import cdb; print cdb.init("some.cdb").__doc__'
Please report new bugs via the Github issue tracker.
python-cdb
is free software, as is cdb itself.

Ancillary files from Felix von Leitner's libowfat are also licensed under the GPL. Finally, modifications to D. J. Bernstein's public domain cdb implementation are similarly released to the public domain.
