+"""A dumb and slow but simple dbm clone.
+
+For database spam, spam.dir contains the index (a text file),
+spam.bak *may* contain a backup of the index (also a text file),
+while spam.dat contains the data (a binary file).
+
+XXX TO DO:
+
+- seems to contain a bug when updating...
+
+- reclaim free space (currently, space once occupied by deleted or expanded
+items is never reused)
+
+- support concurrent access (currently, if two processes take turns making
+updates, they can mess up the index)
+
+- support efficient access to large databases (currently, the whole index
+is read when the database is opened, and some updates rewrite the whole index)
+
+- support opening for read-only (flag = 'm')
+
