A simple and slow database implemented entirely in Python. This
should only be used when no other DBM-style database is available.
- open(filename[, flag[, mode]])
-
Open the database file filename and return a corresponding
object. The flag argument, used to control how the database is
opened in the other DBM implementations, is ignored in
dumbdbm; the database is always opened for update, and will
be created if it does not exist.
The optional mode argument is ignored.
- exception error
-
Raised for errors not reported as KeyError errors.
