Upgrading Python
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
What is this bsddb185 module my application keeps complaining about?
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. XXX remove this question?
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with Python2.3, the distribution includes the `PyBSDDB package
|
||||
<http://pybsddb.sf.net/>` as a replacement for the old bsddb module. It
|
||||
includes functions which provide backward compatibility at the API level, but
|
||||
requires a newer version of the underlying `Berkeley DB
|
||||
<http://www.sleepycat.com>`_ library. Files created with the older bsddb module
|
||||
can't be opened directly using the new module.
|
||||
|
||||
Using your old version of Python and a pair of scripts which are part of Python
|
||||
2.3 (db2pickle.py and pickle2db.py, in the Tools/scripts directory) you can
|
||||
convert your old database files to the new format. Using your old Python
|
||||
version, run the db2pickle.py script to convert it to a pickle, e.g.::
|
||||
|
||||
python2.2 <pathto>/db2pickley.py database.db database.pck
|
||||
|
||||
Rename your database file::
|
||||
|
||||
mv database.db olddatabase.db
|
||||
|
||||
Now convert the pickle file to a new format database::
|
||||
|
||||
python <pathto>/pickle2db.py database.db database.pck
|
||||
|
||||
The precise commands you use will vary depending on the particulars of your
|
||||
installation. For full details about operation of these two scripts check the
|
||||
doc string at the start of each one.
