When will they fix Python _dbm?

[Anton Mamaenko]

What is your operating system, environment, and Python build? 

dbm is just a module that might not have been included into your Python build. It's not a bug but a deliberate choice of the package maker.

Next I decided to convert a perl program that uses a ndbm database since according to the doc on python, it should be able to work with it.  Needless to say, I get: dbm.error: db type is dbm.ndbm, but the module is not available
