>> > IIRC, dbhash and bsddb don't affect the Apple MacIntosh users. [Skip] I don't know what you mean here. Do you mean Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X? I use bsddb all the time on Mac OS X.

Hmm, I'll have to fix the docs too. They currently list bsddb as being only for Unix and Windows.

What are we discussing? Just adding an iterator to objects opened with the old bsddb API?

Yes. Iterators and the rest of the mapping API (iter, pop, popitem, iteritems, setdefault, etc).

Like dumbdbm and shelve, this is done by including UserDict.DictMixin as a base class.
