"""
Synopsis: %(prog)s [-h|-b|-r|-a|-d] dbfile [ picklefile ]

Read the given picklefile as a series of key/value pairs and write to a new
database.  If the database already exists, any contents are deleted.  The
optional flags indicate the type of the database (bsddb hash, bsddb btree,
bsddb recno, anydbm, dbm).  The default is hash.  If a pickle file is named
it is opened for read access.  If no pickle file is named, the pickle input
is read from standard input.

Note that recno databases can only contain numeric keys, so you can't dump a
hash or btree database using db2pickle.py and reconstitute it to a recno
database with %(prog)s.
