A shelve is just a persistent dictionary that uses pickle to store the objects. If you want to store one or a few objects, using pickle directly may be easier. Any problem you may have with pickle (nonpickleable objects, security risks) will happen with shelve too. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
