python-cdb 0.21
---------------

cdb files are mappings of keys to values, designed for wickedly
fast lookups and atomic updates.  The file format is used in
mission critical applications like email, DNS, RADIUS, etc.

This module provides a dict-like interface to cdb files, as
well as facilities for iteration and database creation.  The
module attempts to mimic all of the functionality of the
utilities from the cdb library package.

gdbm fans will be pleased to note that CDB objects support
firstkey()/nextkey() iteration.

See http://pilcrow.madison.wi.us/ for download and related
information.

See http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html for info on the cdb format.

0.21 is a feature complete (I hope) beta, tested under Python
1.5.2.  It is the same as the 0.20 release, the first public
release, but (thankfully) with distutils integration.

Any feedback is welcome.
