Python Version 2.4.3 OS Windows XP When I open a db file in read only mode('r') the 'len' method will only work once. After this it will return only 0. Using anydbm on my windows box defaults to dbhash(bsddb). This only occurs with dbhash(dumbdbm and dbm on Unix work fine). The output of the sample code is "2 0 dbhash".

Logged In: YES user_id=11375 Can you please provide a small test script that demonstrates the problem? When I try opening a dbhash database and calling len(), it returns the correct results.

Works for me in 2.5 and 2.4 isn't getting bug fixes anymore. >>> import dbhash >>> d = dbhash.open('x.db', 'w') >>> d['e'] = 'Eee' >>> d['f'] = 'Ffff' >>> len(d) 2 >>> len(d) 2 It was likely fixed by this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r46684 | gregory.p.smith	2006-06-05 16:59:37 -0700 (Mon, 05 Jun 2006)	5 line s - bsddb: the __len__ method of a DB object has been fixed to return correct results. It could previously incorrectly return 0 in some cases. Fixes SF bug 1493322 (pybsddb bug 1184012).
