I just saw shelve is the module to go for.

Well, but how do I save the nested dict values? I don't want to eval
them, so this is no option for me.

How about dbm/gdbm? Since urls are strings, you can store this dict in a
database instance and actually use it from your program as it were a dict?

If you want easy access to single 'url' keys then `shelve` might be an
alternative to pickling the whole thing as one big object.

This dictionary will get _very_ big, so I want to write it somehow to a

How would I achieve that?

Oh, well, yes you are right that this application is able to harvest
email addresses. But it can do much more than that. It has a text
matching engine, that according to given meta keywords can scan or not
scan documents in the web and harvest all kinds of information. It can
also be fed with callbacks for each of the Content-Types. I know that
the email matching engine is a kind of a 'grey zone', and I asked
myself, if it needs the email stuff. But I mean you could easily include
the email regex to the text matching engine yourself, so I decided to
add this functionality (it is 'OFF' by default :-) ).

The code indicates that you are trying to harvest a _very_ (as you put
it) large set of email addresses from web pages. With my limited
imagination, I can think of only one group of people who would need to
do that. But considering that you write good English, you must not be
one of those mean people that needed me to get a new email account just
for posting to Usenet :-).

Pickle/cPickle are standard library modules that can persist data.
But in this case, I would recommend ZODB/Durus.

How to write temporary data to file?
Hi folks,
I have a data structure that looks like this:
d = {
'url1': {
'emails': ['a', 'b', 'c',...],
'matches': ['d', 'e', 'f',...]
},
'url2': {...
}
This dictionary will get _very_ big, so I want to write it somehow to a
file after it has grown to a certain size.
How would I achieve that?
Thanks,
Thomas
