-
-
-A simple and slow database implemented entirely in Python. This
-should only be used when no other DBM-style database is available.
-
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{open}{filename\optional{, flag\optional{, mode}}}
-Open the database file \var{filename} and return a corresponding
-object. The \var{flag} argument, used to control how the database is
-opened in the other DBM implementations, is ignored in
-\module{dumbdbm}; the database is always opened for update, and will
-be created if it does not exist.
-
-The optional \var{mode} argument is the \UNIX{} mode of the file, used
-only when the database has to be created. It defaults to octal
-\code{0666} (and will be modified by the prevailing umask).
-\versionchanged[The \var{mode} argument was ignored in earlier
- versions]{2.2}
