Semidbm is a fast, pure python implementation of a dbm, which is a persistent key value store. It allows you to get and set keys through a dict interface:
import semidbm
db = semidbm.open('testdb', 'c')
db['foo'] = 'bar'
print db['foo']
db.close()
These values are persisted to disk, and you can later retrieve these key/value pairs:
# Then at a later time:
db = semidbm.open('testdb', 'r')
# prints "bar"
print db['foo']
It was written with these things in mind:
- Pure python, supporting python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4.
- Cross platform, works on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X.
- Supports CPython, pypy, and jython (versions 2.7-b3 and higher).
- Simple and Fast (See :doc:`benchmarks`).
