[DB-SIG] dbm to gdbm conversion

Hi all,
I am a real newbie in python (and db too...) and so will ask what you 
will probably consider a dumb newbie question...
Here is the situation: I use a scientific soft that works both on
a unix and a linux platform. This soft uses dbm on unix and gdbm on
linux as you guessed.
thus I'd like to convert the dbm databases into gdbm databases (and
vice-versa) for exchangin data. 
I could not find any converting function in any module (dbm, anydbm, gdbm...)
and would like to know if that is doable and ...how to do it.

Thanx
Bye
