         :synopsis: Portable DBM Implementation
     
     :Purpose: Last-resort backend implementation for :mod:`anydbm`.
     :Python Version: 1.4 and later
     
     The :mod:`dumbdbm` module is a portable fallback implementation of the DBM API when no other implementations are available.  No external dependencies are required to use :mod:`dumbdbm`, but it is slower than most other implementations.
     
     It follows the semantics of the :mod:`anydbm` module.
