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: <module 'gdbm' from '/---/software/python/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/gdbm.so'> Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test2.py", line 4, in <module> storage = gdbm.open('test.pstor', 'r') gdbm fatal: read error It isn't much to go on, but has anybody else had this problem?
