<hr class="docutils" />
<p>A &#8220;shelf&#8221; is a persistent, dictionary-like object.  The difference with &#8220;dbm&#8221;
databases is that the values (not the keys!) in a shelf can be essentially
arbitrary Python objects &#8212; anything that the <a class="reference internal" href="pickle.html#module-pickle" title="pickle: Convert Python objects to streams of bytes and back."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">pickle</span></tt></a> module can handle.
This includes most class instances, recursive data types, and objects containing
lots of shared  sub-objects.  The keys are ordinary strings.</p>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="shelve.open">
<tt class="descclassname">shelve.</tt><tt class="descname">open</tt><big>(</big><em>filename</em>, <em>flag='c'</em>, <em>protocol=None</em>, <em>writeback=False</em><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#shelve.open" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>Open a persistent dictionary.  The filename specified is the base filename for
the underlying database.  As a side-effect, an extension may be added to the
filename and more than one file may be created.  By default, the underlying
database file is opened for reading and writing.  The optional <em>flag</em> parameter
has the same interpretation as the <em>flag</em> parameter of <a class="reference internal" href="anydbm.html#anydbm.open" title="anydbm.open"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">anydbm.open()</span></tt></a>.</p>
<p>By default, version 0 pickles are used to serialize values.  The version of the
pickle protocol can be specified with the <em>protocol</em> parameter.</p>
<p class="versionchanged">
<span class="versionmodified">Changed in version 2.3: </span>The <em>protocol</em> parameter was added.</p>
<p>Because of Python semantics, a shelf cannot know when a mutable
persistent-dictionary entry is modified.  By default modified objects are
written <em>only</em> when assigned to the shelf (see <a class="reference internal" href="#shelve-example"><em>Example</em></a>).  If the
optional <em>writeback</em> parameter is set to <em>True</em>, all entries accessed are also
cached in memory, and written back on <a class="reference internal" href="#shelve.Shelf.sync" title="shelve.Shelf.sync"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">sync()</span></tt></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="#shelve.Shelf.close" title="shelve.Shelf.close"><tt class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">close()</span></tt></a>; this can make it handier to mutate mutable entries in
the persistent dictionary, but, if many entries are accessed, it can consume
vast amounts of memory for the cache, and it can make the close operation
very slow since all accessed entries are written back (there is no way to
determine which accessed entries are mutable, nor which ones were actually
mutated).</p>
<p>Like file objects, shelve objects should be closed explicitly to ensure
that the persistent data is flushed to disk.</p>
<p>Since the <a class="reference internal" href="#module-shelve" title="shelve: Python object persistence."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">shelve</span></tt></a> module stores objects using <a class="reference internal" href="pickle.html#module-pickle" title="pickle: Convert Python objects to streams of bytes and back."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">pickle</span></tt></a>, the same
security precautions apply.  Accordingly, you should avoid loading a shelf
from an untrusted source.</p>
</dd></dl>

<p>Shelf objects support all methods supported by dictionaries.  This eases the
transition from dictionary based scripts to those requiring persistent storage.</p>
<p>Two additional methods are supported:</p>

Therefore
it is not safe to open the database directly using <a class="reference internal" href="dbm.html#module-dbm" title="dbm: The standard &quot;database&quot; interface, based on ndbm. (Unix)"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">dbm</span></tt></a>.  The database is

this means that (the pickled representation of) the objects stored in the
database should be fairly small, and in rare cases key collisions may cause the
database to refuse updates.</li>
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-shelve" title="shelve: Python object persistence."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">shelve</span></tt></a> module does not support <em>concurrent</em> read/write access to
shelved objects.  (Multiple simultaneous read accesses are safe.)  When a
program has a shelf open for writing, no other program should have it open for
reading or writing.  Unix file locking can be used to solve this, but this
differs across Unix versions and requires knowledge about the database
implementation used.</li>
