11.7. whichdb — Guess which DBM module created a database
Note
The whichdb
module’s only function has been put into the dbm
module in Python 3. The 2to3 tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to Python 3.
The single function in this module attempts to guess which of the several simple database modules available—dbm
, gdbm
, or dbhash
—should be used to open a given file.
