Programming Python
by Mark Lutz


Here are the changes made in the 4/99 reprint:


{39) Added the 'c' argument to the call in the program example. It now reads:

	anydbm.open('movie', 'c')


{41} Added the 'c' argument to the call in the program examples in two places.
     Both examples now read:

	anydbm.open('movie', 'c')


(390) Added a sentence to the end of the last paragraph:

	One exception worth noting: in Python versions 1.5.2 and later, be sure
	to pass a 'c' as a second argument when calling anydbm.open, to force 
	Python to create the file if it does not yet exist, and simply open it 
	otherwise.


{411} Added the 'c' argument to the call in the program example. It now reads:

	mapping = anydbm.open(fileName, 'c')


{412} Added the 'c' argument to the call in the program example. It now reads:

	file = anydbm.open("test2/dbml", "c")


{422} Added the 'c' argument to the call in the program example. It now reads:

	mapping = anydbm.open(fileName, 'c')


{690} Replaced the abbreviation "rand" with "random" in the code example. It
      now reads:

	self.runstring("from random import *")
