"""Open a persistent dictionary for reading and writing.
Argument is the filename for the dbm database.
The filename parameter is the base filename for the underlying database.
As a side-effect, an extension may be added to the filename and more
than one file may be created. The optional flag parameter has the
same interpretation as the flag parameter of anydbm.open(). The
optional binary parameter may be set to True to force the use of binary
pickles for serializing data values.
See the module's __doc__ string for an overview of the interface.
