New submission from Adam Collard <[email protected]>:
Originally reported at:

In Python 2.6, the dbshelve.py module throws an AttributeError exception
whenever a call is made to a method that depends upon an __iter__ method. The
exception is:
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/bsddb/dbshelve.py", line 167, in __iter__
return self.db.__iter__()
AttributeError: 'DB' object has no attribute '__iter__'
This means that, if mydb is an istance of a DB object, the following examples
will fail:
for key in mydb: print key
print (k for k in mydb.iterkeys())
for k, d in mydb.itervalues(): print k, d
and many other statements depending on iterable(mydb) being true
Note that, in Python 2.5, these examples work and no exception is thrown. In
fact, if you have both 2.5 and 2.6 installed on the same system, you can run
the same program containing code as above with Python2.5 without issue while
running it under Python 2.6 raises the exception seen above.
