number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
Add support for the iterator and mapping protocols.
For Py2.3, this was done for shelve, dumbdbm and other mapping objects, but
not for bsddb and dbhash which were inadvertently missed.
oriented DbEnv & Db object BerkeleyDB interface.
Include a note about Sleepycat's BerkeleyDB license with regards to
distributing it within non-opensource applications and include a link
to their website for license details.
Document that 'r' is the default flag for the legacy bsddb btopen(),
hashopen(), and rnopen() functions. This is apparently different than the
dbm libraries in other languages according to Bug #732951. Changing
the default from 'r' to 'c' would break backwards compatibility with
legacy bsddb applications; documenting the default should suffice.
closes SF #514433
can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions,
and you'll get an in-memory temporary store.
docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to
clean them up.
Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.
BTree databases, the key need not be in the database. Also, tell about
the exception if the key is not in the DB for other DB types.
This closes SF bug #127377.
