+"""Manage shelves of pickled objects.
+
+A "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 "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.
+
+To summarize the interface (key is a string, data is an arbitrary
+object):
+
+        import shelve
+        d = shelve.open(filename) # open, with (g)dbm filename -- no suffix
+
+        d[key] = data   # store data at key (overwrites old data if
+                        # using an existing key)
+        data = d[key]   # retrieve a COPY of the data at key (raise
+                        # KeyError if no such key) -- NOTE that this
+                        # access returns a *copy* of the entry!
+        del d[key]      # delete data stored at key (raises KeyError
+                        # if no such key)
+        flag = key in d # true if the key exists
+        list = d.keys() # a list of all existing keys (slow!)
+
+        d.close()       # close it
+
+Dependent on the implementation, closing a persistent dictionary may
+or may not be necessary to flush changes to disk.
+
+Normally, d[key] returns a COPY of the entry.  This needs care when
+mutable entries are mutated: for example, if d[key] is a list,
+        d[key].append(anitem)
+does NOT modify the entry d[key] itself, as stored in the persistent
+mapping -- it only modifies the copy, which is then immediately
+discarded, so that the append has NO effect whatsoever.  To append an
+item to d[key] in a way that will affect the persistent mapping, use:
+        data = d[key]
+        data.append(anitem)
+        d[key] = data
+
+To avoid the problem with mutable entries, you may pass the keyword
+argument writeback=True in the call to shelve.open.  When you use:
+        d = shelve.open(filename, writeback=True)
+then d keeps a cache of all entries you access, and writes them all back
+to the persistent mapping when you call d.close().  This ensures that
+such usage as d[key].append(anitem) works as intended.
+
+However, using keyword argument writeback=True may consume vast amount
+of memory for the cache, and it may make d.close() very slow, if you
+access many of d's entries after opening it in this way: d has no way to
+check which of the entries you access are mutable and/or which ones you
+actually mutate, so it must cache, and write back at close, all of the
+entries that you access.  You can call d.sync() to write back all the
+entries in the cache, and empty the cache (d.sync() also synchronizes
+the persistent dictionary on disk, if feasible).
