I believe this assumption is wrong - it's really that no code has been
contributed to do that.
For gdbm, you can also use the firstkey/nextkey methods.

Time & space. One motivation for using dbm files is to write large (huge,
in fact) mappings to disk. Simply reconstituting the entire set of keys may
consume a lot of time (they must
keys() returns a list and my question was not about "how to" but more
like "why"...
I assumed there were some decisions behind this, rather than it's just
not implemented yet.

Why not
for key in d.keys():
print key
That worked for me.

Hi,
I was wondering why *dbm modules in Python do not give us an iterable interface?
Take a look at an example below
"""
# Python 2.6
>>> import gdbm
>>> d = gdbm.open("spam.db", "n")
>>> d["key1"] = "ham"
>>> d["key2"] = "spam"
>>>
>>> for k in d:
... print k
...
