[New-bugs-announce] [issue10609] dbm documentation example doesn't work (iteritems())

[Sandro Tosi]

New submission from Sandro Tosi <sandro.tosi at gmail.com>:

Following http://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2010-December/002356.html a possible solution is:


diff -r 3b07f7bb0289 Doc/library/dbm.rst

-   for k, v in db.iteritems():
+   for k, v in dict(db).items():
        print(k, '\t', v)
 
    # Storing a non-string key or value will raise an exception (most

How much ugly is this? alternatively, we can:


>>> for k in db.keys():
...     print(k, '\t', db.get(k))

What would be the best solution? (anyhow the comments above the for loop has to be changed).

Regards,
Sandro
