Smith Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:16:42 +0000 http://mike.crute.org/blog/?p=134#comment-60959 So, quite honestly I googled my way to your blog, which is awesome because *surprise* you sit on the other side of my cubicle wall! What I was really looking to do is manage not only htpasswd (which I had already figured out) but also the dbm used by apache (rather than a flat file). It's wrapped up quite nicely in Perl via HTTP::UserAdmin, but I was hoping for an all-in-one much like it in Python because I love Python and Python loves me. I won't go into details about our relationship, but I'm pretty sure I may have to move to Utah with my wife and take Python with us. I hear it's legal to have multiple wives there. So, anyhow, anydbm, gdbm, dumbdbm don't seem to work with the 'sdbm' format generated by apaches dbm tools.. I'm digging into it, but was hoping you might have some clues off the top of your head. I yelled over the wall, but you're out getting lunch or playing ping pong or something. You're probably drunk.

So, anyhow, anydbm, gdbm, dumbdbm don’t seem to work with the ’sdbm’ format generated by apaches dbm tools.. I’m digging into it, but was hoping you might have some clues off the top of your head.
