- """Manage shelves of pickled objects.
- A "shelf" is a persistent, dictionary-like object. The difference
- with dbm databases is that the values (not the keys!) in a shelf can
- be essentially arbitrary Python objects -- anything that the "pickle"
- module can handle. This includes most class instances, recursive data
- types, and objects containing lots of shared sub-objects. The keys
- are ordinary strings.
- To summarize the interface (key is a string, data is an arbitrary
- object):
- import shelve
- d = shelve.open(filename) # open, with (g)dbm filename -- no suffix
- d[key] = data # store data at key (overwrites old data if
- # using an existing key)
- data = d[key] # retrieve a COPY of the data at key (raise
- # KeyError if no such key) -- NOTE that this
- # access returns a *copy* of the entry!
- del d[key] # delete data stored at key (raises KeyError
- # if no such key)
- flag = key in d # true if the key exists
- list = d.keys() # a list of all existing keys (slow!)
- d.close() # close it
- Dependent on the implementation, closing a persistent dictionary may
- or may not be necessary to flush changes to disk.
- Normally, d[key] returns a COPY of the entry. This needs care when
- mutable entries are mutated: for example, if d[key] is a list,
- d[key].append(anitem)
- does NOT modify the entry d[key] itself, as stored in the persistent
- mapping -- it only modifies the copy, which is then immediately
- discarded, so that the append has NO effect whatsoever. To append an
- item to d[key] in a way that will affect the persistent mapping, use:
- data = d[key]
- data.append(anitem)
- d[key] = data
- To avoid the problem with mutable entries, you may pass the keyword
- argument writeback=True in the call to shelve.open. When you use:
- d = shelve.open(filename, writeback=True)
- then d keeps a cache of all entries you access, and writes them all back
- to the persistent mapping when you call d.close(). This ensures that
- such usage as d[key].append(anitem) works as intended.
- However, using keyword argument writeback=True may consume vast amount
- of memory for the cache, and it may make d.close() very slow, if you
- access many of d's entries after opening it in this way: d has no way to
- check which of the entries you access are mutable and/or which ones you
- actually mutate, so it must cache, and write back at close, all of the
- entries that you access. You can call d.sync() to write back all the
- entries in the cache, and empty the cache (d.sync() also synchronizes
- the persistent dictionary on disk, if feasible).
