A [http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-shelve.html ''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 [http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-pickle.html 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.
