Here's the new version which addresses your last comment. Regarding the first issue, I don't believe that the result will be as readable (but I agree with you that it will be better). For instance, `items` will probably look like this:

try:         
   return [(key, self[key]) for key in self._index.keys()]
except AttributeError:
   raise dbm.dumb.error(...) from None

but will look totally different for other __len__:

try:
   return len(self._index)
except TypeError:
   raise dbm.dumb.error(...) from None.


We could catch TypeError only for dunder methods though and for the rest of the methods check the value of _index before access.
