This is a new test for object persistency. I am trying to store the relationship between instances externally. It's not working as expected. May be I am doing it in wrong way. Any suggestions?
import shelve class attrib(object): pass class node(object): def __init__(self): self.a = attrib() self.b = attrib() self.c = attrib() self.d = attrib() a = node() #store pair relationship. This relationship is created at run time. lst = [[a.a, a.b], [a.c, a.d]] #Write objects into file shelf = shelve.open('shelve_test_01.txt', writeback=True) shelf['node'] = a shelf['lst'] = lst shelf.sync() shelf.close() #Read objects from file shelf = shelve.open('shelve_test_01.txt', 'r') a = shelf['node'] lst = shelf['lst'] print a.a, a.b, a.c, a.d #lst does not contains the relationship of object 'a''s attributes, instead it's creating new instances #of 'attrib' class print lst -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
