     dbm -- Simple database interface
     ================================
     
     .. module:: dbm
         :synopsis: Simple database interface
     
     :Purpose: Provides an interface to the Unix (n)dbm library.
     :Python Version: 1.4 and later
     
     The :mod:`dbm` module provides an interface to one of the dbm
     libraries, depending on how the module was configured during
     compilation.
     
     Examples
     ========
     
     The ``library`` attribute identifies the library being used, by name.
     
     .. include:: dbm_library.py
         :literal:
         :start-after: #end_pymotw_header
     
     Your results will depend on what library ``configure`` was able to
     find when the interpreter was built.
     
     .. {{{cog
     .. cog.out(run_script(cog.inFile, 'dbm_library.py'))
     .. }}}
     
     ::
     
     	$ python dbm_library.py
     
     	GNU gdbm
     
     .. {{{end}}}
     
     The :func:`open()` function follows the same semantics as the
     :mod:`anydbm` module.
