<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-dumbdbm" title="dumbdbm: Portable implementation of the simple DBM interface."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">dumbdbm</span></tt></a> module provides a persistent dictionary-like interface which
is written entirely in Python.  Unlike other modules such as <a class="reference internal" href="gdbm.html#module-gdbm" title="gdbm: GNU's reinterpretation of dbm. (Unix)"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">gdbm</span></tt></a> and

mappings, the keys and values must always be strings.</p>

<p>The optional <em>flag</em> argument is currently ignored; the database is always opened
