Notice that you don't need to use bsddb for shelve. Instead, you might use dumbdbm instead, passing the dbm directly to shelve.Shelf. It's probably slower than bsddb, however, updating a single key should be faster than pickling an entire dictionary. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
