gdbm troubles.

[Shriphani]

dictionary = gdbm.open('dictionary','c')
dictionary['Ellipsize'] = 'Openbox'
dictionary.get('Ellipsize')

the last line generates an attribute error. Can someone tell me what I
am doing wrong?

You are trying to use a method that does not exist. That `gdbm` object
doesn't have a `get()` method.

dictionary.get('Ellipsize')

Try this:

print dictionary['Ellipsize']
del dictionary['Ellipsize']


gdbm objects are similar to builtin dictionaries. By the way, they are
not iterable, but they should be. I posted a proposal some days ago and
nobody was against this. How can I start a discussion about this? Can we
vote for this new feature here? Is this the right place?
