Alex Roper <al...@ugcs.caltech.edu> added the comment: I've just been using the sq_dict module, which is a drop-in replacement for shelve written using sqlite3. BDB is a pretty squirraly piece of software in my experience. It may or may not be stable on it's own, but its APIs are pretty poorly documented and programmers tend to misuse them without knowing it.
Every job I've done with it has involved major hacks such as API interception and replacement with sqlite3, cronjobs to rebuild hte database every hour, etc. It's also nice to have databases that are platform independent, and in all the applications I use the slight slowdown for sqlite is acceptable (I mean I /am/ using Python) YMMV of course. Also I know at one point Python 3 was going to use sqlite. The sq_dict I mention is on Bugzilla somewhere, or email me if you need a copy.
