I only just recently had a look at the shelve module, and it looks pretty handy, my only question being, what if I really want two shelves? Must I use two files?
Also, it seems strange that shelve only works with filenames. I would've expected there to at least be a variant that would put a shelve database on a file that is opened for read/write (that is a file object). That would be handy if, for example, I wanted to couple (and compress into the bargain) by putting my two shelf files into a single zip archive. Of course, I could do this with temporary files, but I wonder if there's a simpler way? -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
