-\section{\module{dumbdbm} ---
- Portable DBM implementation}
-
-\declaremodule{standard}{dumbdbm}
-\modulesynopsis{Portable implementation of the simple DBM interface.}
-
-\index{databases}
-
-\begin{notice}
-The \module{dumbdbm} module is intended as a last resort fallback for
-the \refmodule{anydbm} module when no more robust module is available.
-The \module{dumbdbm} module is not written for speed and is not nearly as
-heavily used as the other database modules.
-\end{notice}
-
-The \module{dumbdbm} module provides a persistent dictionary-like interface
-which is written entirely in Python. Unlike other modules such as
-\refmodule{gdbm} and \refmodule{bsddb}, no external library is required. As
-with other persistent mappings, the keys and values must always be strings.
-
-The module defines the following:
-
-\begin{excdesc}{error}
-Raised on dumbdbm-specific errors, such as I/O errors. \exception{KeyError}
-is raised for general mapping errors like specifying an incorrect key.
-\end{excdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{open}{filename\optional{, flag\optional{, mode}}}
-Open a dumbdbm database and return a dumbdbm object. The \var{filename}
-argument is the basename of the database file (without any specific
-extensions). When a dumbdbm database is created, files with \file{.dat} and
-\file{.dir} extensions are created.
-
-The optional \var{flag} argument is currently ignored; 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}

-\subsection{Dumbdbm Objects \label{dumbdbm-objects}}
-
-In addition to the methods provided by the \class{UserDict.DictMixin} class,
-\class{dumbdbm} objects provide the following methods.
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[dumbdbm]{sync}{}
-Synchronize the on-disk directory and data files. This method is called by
-the \method{sync} method of \class{Shelve} objects.
-\end{methoddesc}
