About:
This package provides the gdbm module for Python 3.14, enabling programs to interface with the GNU dbm (gdbm) database library. It allows for the creation and management of key-value storage files that support fast, random-access lookups. This is essential for applications requiring persistent, dictionary-like data storage on disk.
Key Features:
  • Persistent key-value storage interface
  • Fast random-access data retrieval
  • Compatibility with GNU dbm library
  • Support for standard dictionary-like operations
Use Cases:
  • Storing application configuration or user settings
  • Implementing simple, file-based caching mechanisms
  • Managing large datasets that do not fit in memory
Alternatives:
  • python-sqlite3 – Provides a more robust, relational database with SQL support, suitable for complex queries.
  • python-shelve – A generic object persistence module that can use gdbm as a backend, offering a simpler interface for storing Python objects.
