It should be noted that files created using anydbm.open(FILE) when bsddb was installed, will have chosen that backend and will now fail as follows:
plasma python # etc-proposals
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/etc-proposals", line 11, in <module>
from etcproposals.etcproposals_lib import Config, EtcProposals
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/etcproposals/etcproposals_lib.py", line 604, in <module>
State = EtcProposalsState()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/etcproposals/etcproposals_lib.py", line 566, in __init__
shelve.Shelf.__init__(self, anydbm.open(STATEFILE, 'c'))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/anydbm.py", line 82, in open
mod = __import__(result)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dbhash.py", line 7, in <module>
import bsddb
ImportError: No module named bsddb
In this instance the file in question was not required, and can simply be removed (to be recreated with a different db module), however it may be best to note this somewhere...
Python itself is using bsddb:
$ grep bsddb "/usr/lib64/python2.6/dbhash.py"
"""Provide a (g)dbm-compatible interface to bsddb.hashopen."""
import bsddb
error = bsddb.error # Exported for anydbm
return bsddb.hashopen(file, flag, mode)
I'm running dev-lang/python-2.6.6-r2
python2.6 and the module both deprecated |
