New submission from Michael Crouch: Shelve types in Python 2.7 don't implement the 'viewkeys', 'viewvalues', and 'viewitems' methods.
Section 11.4 of the Python Standard Library documentation says that "Shelf objects support all methods supported by dictionaries." If those methods can't be added to shelves, the documentation should be clarified. The use case for this was that I wanted an iterator on a shelf that didn't try to materialize the entire list (since the shelf is very large and I'd prefer to leave most of it on disk). ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 261744 nosy: Michael Crouch priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: dictviews methods not present on shelve objects versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26557> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
