if you put the shelve in a subdirectory, and nuke the entire directory when done, you don't have to know the names. dbfile = "mydatabase" if not os.path.isdir(dbfile): os.makedirs(dbfile) db = shelve.open(os.path.join(dbfile, "data"), ...) ... db.close() del db ... shutil.rmtree(dbfile) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
