Have anyone tried it with Jython? I recall some problems regarding
ints/longs, but I have forgotten the details.

If anyone makes an dbm compatible wrapper for any of these packages, I
gladly list them in the FAQ. Even without such a wrapper, the java
packages are usefull but hardly worth special mentioning.

If the licensing of the dbm java package can be resolved, the combined
dbm module might make it into the distribution. As always, contribution
are welcome.
