dbm package
///////////
The ``dbm`` package is to collect all dbm-related modules. Do note
that both ``anydbm`` and ``whichdb`` are merged into a single module.
This was done as both modules currently have minimal functionality and
have no name conflicts.
================= ===============================
Current Name Replacement Name
================= ===============================
anydbm dbm.tools
anydbm dbm.tools [1]_
dbhash dbm.db
dbm dbm.ndbm
dumbdm dbm.dumb
gdbm dbm.gnu
whichdb dbm.tools
whichdb dbm.tools [1]_
================= ===============================
.. [1] ``dbm.tools`` can combine ``anybdbm`` and ``whichdb`` since the public
API for both modules has no name conflict.
