Folks, What might be a good replacement for the shelve module, but one that can handle a few gigs of data. I'm doing some calculations on daily stock prices and the result is a nested list like:
[[date_1, floating result 1], [date_2, floating result 2], ... [date_n, floating result n]] However, there are about 5,000 lists like that, one for each stock symbol. Using the shelve module I could easily save them to a file ( myshelvefile['symbol_1') = symbol_1_list) and likewise retrieve the data. But shelve is deprecated AND when a lot of data is written shelve was acting weird (refusing to write, filesizes reported with an "ls" did not make sense, etc.). Thanks in advance for your suggestions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
