[issue13007] gdbm 1.9 has new magic that whichdb does not recognize

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

Niklas, the Python 2 and 3 binaries for Mac OS X provided by the python.org installers are not built with support for gdbm, nor are the Apple-supplied system Pythons; Apple does not ship gdbm with OS X.  So you can't open a shelve file created in another Python that does use gdbm.
