About:
This package provides the gdbm module for Python 3.11, enabling persistent storage of arbitrary Python objects using the GNU dbm (gdbm) database library. It functions as a dictionary-like interface for key-value data storage, offering a lightweight and reliable solution for application state management. This formula is specifically compiled for Python 3.11 to ensure compatibility.
Key Features:
  • Persistent dictionary-like storage interface
  • Integration with the GNU dbm (gdbm) library
  • Specifically built for Python 3.11 environments
  • Supports standard dictionary operations (store, retrieve, delete)
Use Cases:
  • Storing application configuration or user settings persistently
  • Caching expensive computation results or API responses
  • Managing simple key-value datasets without a full database server
Alternatives:
  • python-sqlite3 – Built-in module offering relational database capabilities; heavier than gdbm for simple key-value needs.
  • python-bsddb – Alternative database interface; Berkeley DB is often more complex to manage than gdbm.
