Thomi Richards added the comment: Attached is a patch that adds documentation to `shelve.rst` explicitly stating that it does not support the viewkeys, viewvalues, and viewitems methods.
I think this is the correct approach since it doesn't seems sensible to add support for these methods to UserDict, *and* also it might give users the impression that they can incrementally iterate over a shelved object without loading it all (which I believe is incorrect). ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +thomir Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file44578/issue26557_shelve.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26557> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
