11.6. anydbm — 对 DBM 样式数据库的一般访问 ¶

注意

The anydbm module has been renamed to dbm in Python 3. The 2to3 tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to Python 3.

anydbm 是 DBM 数据库变体的一般接口 — dbhash (requires bsddb ), gdbm ，或 dbm . If none of these modules is installed, the slow-but-simple implementation in module dumbdbm 会被使用。

anydbm. open ( filename [ , flag [ , mode ] ] ) ¶

Open the database file filename and return a corresponding object.

If the database file already exists, the whichdb module is used to determine its type and the appropriate module is used; if it does not exist, the first module listed above that can be imported is used.

可选 flag argument must be one of these values:

值	含义
'r'	Open existing database for reading only (default)
'w'	Open existing database for reading and writing
'c'	Open database for reading and writing, creating it if it doesn’t exist
'n'	Always create a new, empty database, open for reading and writing

If not specified, the default value is 'r' .

可选 mode argument is the Unix mode of the file, used only when the database has to be created. It defaults to octal 0666 (and will be modified by the prevailing umask).

exception anydbm. error ¶

A tuple containing the exceptions that can be raised by each of the supported modules, with a unique exception also named anydbm.error as the first item — the latter is used when anydbm.error 被引发。

The object returned by open() supports most of the same functionality as dictionaries; keys and their corresponding values can be stored, retrieved, and deleted, and the has_key() and keys() methods are available. Keys and values must always be strings.

The following example records some hostnames and a corresponding title, and then prints out the contents of the database:

import anydbm
# Open database, creating it if necessary.
db = anydbm.open('cache', 'c')
# Record some values
db['www.python.org'] = 'Python Website'
db['www.cnn.com'] = 'Cable News Network'
# Loop through contents.  Other dictionary methods
# such as .keys(), .values() also work.
for k, v in db.iteritems():
    print k, '\t', v
# Storing a non-string key or value will raise an exception (most
# likely a TypeError).
db['www.yahoo.com'] = 4
# Close when done.
db.close()
					

In addition to the dictionary-like methods, anydbm objects provide the following method:

anydbm. close ( ) ¶

Close the anydbm database.
