I disagree that this is release-critical. I think it is desirable to say that the dbm modules support most of a dict-style interface, and I also think that it is factually correct to claim that they currently do. The problem with the current documentation is that it apparently stopped documenting the "dict-style interface", in the sense http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/typesmapping.html did. Instead, the documentation now only documents the dict type itself. If a dict-style interface was specified, one would have to specify whether returning views from keys/values/items is part of the dict-style interface or not. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6045> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
