This package provides Python bindings for sophia, a ligthweight DBM-like database. Available operations on a database are inserting a key-value pair, deleting it, or retrieving a value given its key. It is also possible to traverse the records of a database in ascending or descending order.

First install libsophia using this script (to be run from the source package directory, from /tmp or similar). Then download and install the bindings:

python setup.py install

You can consult the online documentation of this package here. It is also present in the source package under doc/_build/html/

If you want to check how the library performs, look at the benchmarks on the website of the author, and run the script bench.py located in the tests directory of this package.
