Folks,
What might be a good replacement for the shelve module, but one that
can handle a few gigs of data. I'm doing some calculations on daily
stock prices and the result is a nested list like:
[[date_1, floating result 1],

The other option is to use a database, sqlite3 is pretty fast (if you schema is
fixed). Otherwise you can look at some NoSQL ones (like MongoDB).
