It's probably worth mentioning that shelve is not secure; loading a

A good point, shelve should be treated more like an internal
persistence tool than a general purpose database. It's
fine if you know what you are storing but if random data
is being put into it there could be problems.
My thanks to all of those who replied and offered suggestions. I will
be looking into every one of those suggestions. Again, my thanks. This
is truly a great Python group.
