Subject: Fix #11491. When dbm.open was called with a file which already exists and
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=30bb6e036053565bdbc336175d0433b128f6cd29;p=python

Fix #11491. When dbm.open was called with a file which already exists and
the "flag" argument is "n", dbm.error was being raised. As documented,
dbm.open(...,flag='n') will now "Always create a new, empty database,
open for reading and writing", regardless of a previous file existing.
