| In module bsddb, the second argument of the open functions (e.g., btopen) should default to 'r' rather than 'c'. Most (all?) of the other open functions, both in the various dbm-like modules and for basic I/O default this way. If this change is not made, then at least this behavior should be documented clearly. Currently it's not documented at all (as far as I can find). Cheers, Mike | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=12800 That certainly would make it more consistent with other *dbm open functions. I guess you'd want to change hashopen(), btopen(), and rnopen(). OTOH, this probably breaks backward compatibility for those coming from the pybsddb world. Assigning to Greg Smith to make final decision. | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=413 It appears that the old bsddb library also defaulted to 'r' for the *open() functions. I just committed an update to the libbsddb.tex documentation source that mentions that 'r' is the default. I didn't want to break compatibility with any existing applications. hopefully that documentation update will make it into the 2.3 release. |
