I have a python script which displays a framed image. Information about the image is stored in a dbm file which is generated by perl. File type is gallery/ImageDatabase.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order) Attempts to run the script and open the dbm file yeild: [khartoum]$ python -d cgi/frameimage.py Traceback (most recent call last): File “cgi/frameimage.py”, line 136, in <module> db_file = dbm.open (image_db_path, ‘r’) dbm.error: (22, ‘Invalid argument’) I believe the file path is correct. When it is incorrect I get a different error. This script works when run under Mac OS and python 2.6 but not on dreamhost site which has python 2.5.2. I’m stumped and would appreciate any help. Tom
