13.4 shelve -- Python object persistence
A ``shelf'' is a persistent, dictionary-like object. The difference
with ``dbm'' databases is that the values (not the keys!) in a shelf
can be essentially arbitrary Python objects -- anything that the
pickle module can handle. This includes most class instances,
recursive data types, and objects containing lots of shared
sub-objects. The keys are ordinary strings....
