3.0 - bsddb removed

[Sean]

Anyone got any thoughts about what to use as a replacement. I need
something (like bsddb) which uses dictionary syntax to read and write an
underlying (fast!) btree or similar.

Thanks.

pybsddb is just not included in the core. It's still distributed separately.

You would need to make a dictionary interface to sqlite, eg

Or do something a bit simpler yourself.

Another option is to use the 'shove' module: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/shove

Similar API to shelve, shove-able objects can be treated just like
dicts, and it supports sqlite as a backend amongst many many others.
