You might find the 3rd party module 'shove' is more suitable for your needs here. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/shove It provides a lot more backend support than shelve, of particular interest to you would be filesystem (& maybe sqlite). >>> from shove import Shove >>> fsdb = Shove('file://persistent.db') >>> fsdb['key1'] = 'value1' >>> fsdb.close() In this example, using the file protocol will produce a 'persistent.db' folder with the key/value pairs stored within it as files. This should be cross platform enough for your needs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
