These are the basic requirements: Script A must keep a dictionary in memory constantly and script B must be able to access and update this dictionary at any time. Script B will start and end several times, but script A would ideally keep running until it's explicitly shut down.
I have the feeling the way to do this is Python is by pickling the dict, but I need the method that gives the best performance. That's why I'd rather want to keep it in memory, since I understand pickling involves reading from and writing to disk. I'm using SQLite as a database. But this dict is an especial index that must be accessed at the highest speed possible. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
