Bug#121428: ITP: python-bsddb3 -- A python interface to libdb3
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Description from the documentation:
This module provides a nearly complete wrapping of the Sleepycat C API for
the Database Environment, Database, Cursor, and Transaction objects, and each
of these is exposed as a Python Type in the bsddb3.db module. The database
objects can use various access methods: btree, hash, recno, queue. For the
first time all of these are fully supported in the Python wrappers. Please
see the documents in the docs directory of the source distribution or at the
website for more details on the types and methods provided.
The package is uploaded to incoming.
