I'm running a number of test cases and saving their results in a shelve file.
A full run of the test cases takes about 36 hours. During that time, if something interrupts the run (e.g., a power outage, which has happened), I find that none of the completed test cases have been committed to the shelve file even though, after each run, I make sure that the results are written to the in-memory database (i.e., db = shelve.open(filename) at the beginning of the test run; and db[key] = results after each test case). Is there a way to force the results for a single test case to be written back to the shelve file? Other than opening/closing the shelve after each test case run? Thanks.
