No, they shouldn't be. It's just regular *dbm with pickled python objects in
the values. One thing you will want to be careful of when using it though is
locking, since you'll have many apache processes each running their own copy
of the mod_python script, you could easily run into corruption if you don't
lock the file correctly.
