This is a documented behaviour of shelve: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-shelve.html and note "an extension may be added to the filename and more than one file may be created". I guess this depends on what dbm shelve is built on the documentation implies it goes through anydbm. I'm not seeing this behaviour on my Debian 3.1 (and I fail to understand why it is a problem). -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ ___ | "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" \X/ | -- Arthur C.
