Hi Jim, Thanks for your messages -- however, py2exe is NOT the issue -- as you can see with my example above, shelve is crashing even just by calling it from IDLE (latest PC version of IDLE & Python), running on a Win ME machine.
Anyone else out there having access to a Win ME PC willing to try it? Thanks for checking! In the meantime, I may replace shelve with a simpler workaround using cPickle & basic flat file operations. -- Joel p.s. -- Jim, I too had to import dbhash in my program to make it work using py2exe, so you are right on, there. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
