Hi-
I am having a problem with shelve. The problem I think is really with
gdbm. I'll write out a file using shelve/gdbm on an amd64 machine and
then I'll try to read it in on a i386 machine. The result is a 'gdbm
fatal: read error.' Reversing directions results in the same problem.
Below are two small programs that get at the heart of the problem:
#test.py##
#!/usr/bin/env python
import gdbm
print gdbm
storage = gdbm.open('test.pstor', 'c')
storage['test'] = 'a'
storage.close()
#test2.py#
#!/usr/bin/env python
import gdbm
print gdbm
storage = gdbm.open('test.pstor', 'r')
print storage['test']
storage.close()
#
The result of running test2 is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test2.py", line 4, in
storage = gdbm.open('test.pstor', 'r')
gdbm fatal: read error
It isn't much to go on, but has anybody else had this problem?
Cheers,
Doug
