      The filename parameter is the base filename for the underlying
      database.  As a side-effect, an extension may be added to the
      filename and more than one file may be created.  The optional flag
      parameter has the same interpretation as the flag parameter of
      anydbm.open(). The optional protocol parameter specifies the
      version of the pickle protocol (0, 1, or 2).
