Semidbm
=======

Semidbm is a fast, pure python implementation of a dbm, which is a
persistent key value store. It allows you to get and set keys through
a dict interface::

    import semidbm
    db = semidbm.open('testdb', 'c')
    db['foo'] = 'bar'
    print db['foo']
    db.close()

These values are persisted to disk, and you can later retrieve
these key/value pairs::

    # Then at a later time:
    db = semidbm.open('testdb', 'r')
    # prints "bar"
    print db['foo']


It was written with these things in mind:

* Pure python, supporting python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4.
* Cross platform, works on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X.
* Supports CPython, pypy, and jython (versions 2.7-b3 and higher).
* Simple and Fast (See :doc:`benchmarks`).
