Greetings all,
I have some questions about the bsddb package that comes with Python 2.3
that I can't find answers for. I've googled and read the documentation.
1. Does the Berkeley database from Sleepycat need to be installed
separately from Python, or is it included? The documentation states
that bsddb requires the Berkeley DB library 3.1 or later, but it seems
to work without it (on Debian, at least - I don't think it's installed).
2. My anticipated application requires several users to access the same
database. I can open the same database with several users, but changes
made by one user don't show up in the other user's data, and whoever
closes the database last gets the "final say", as it were - their data
overwrites the data of the users that closed before them. I suspect the
DBEnv function is needed somehow, but I can't figure out how to make it
work. I do not get enlightenment from the updated documentation on
Sourceforge.
Can anyone help, or point me to some documentation that will explain
these things?
Thanks,
Mike

It is. Debian has a great package dependency system.

You almost certainly want to use DBEnv even if you don't care about
concurrent access. You also want to initialize the transaction
subsystem. There's also a hundred other important details. For a
wrapper with fewer pointy edges, you may want to take a look at atop.
It isn't finished or individually packaged/released, but at the very
least it will be an educational read.

The Sleepycat documentation is quite complete. Reading all of http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/toc.html is not a bad idea. There is
also a Berkeley DB usenet group, comp.databases. berkeley-db, where a lot
of smart, experienced people hang out :)

Dear Peter,
Do we know anyone else who writes PHP code? There is too much work to
do, especially if Costin and I are going to join our software
together.
The easiest way for us to join our software together is through high
level wrapper classes that take other classes for arguments. Costin
and I could move toward joining the software one package at a time.

Ok I am working on a Hall Pass program for my computer programming class. There are 3 things that I am confused on.
1. Reading a file.
2. Taking that data read from the file and putting it into an array.
3. A way to access the array, and check if it matches what the user inputed (like a login program)
This is what the text file looks like (unless you have a easier / more efficient way of doing it, I was reading somewhere, about...
