- PickleShare - a small 'shelve' like datastore with concurrency support
-
- Like shelve, a PickleShareDB object acts like a normal dictionary. Unlike shelve,
- many processes can access the database simultaneously. Changing a value in
- database is immediately visible to other processes accessing the same database.
-
- Concurrency is possible because the values are stored in separate files. Hence
- the "database" is a directory where *all* files are governed by PickleShare.
-
- Example usage::
-
- from pickleshare import *
- db = PickleShareDB('~/testpickleshare')
- db.clear()
- print("Should be empty:",db.items())
- db['hello'] = 15
- db['aku ankka'] = [1,2,313]
- db['paths/are/ok/key'] = [1,(5,46)]
- print(db.keys())
-
- This module is certainly not ZODB, but can be used for low-load
- (non-mission-critical) situations where tiny code size trumps the
- advanced features of a "real" object database.
-
- Installation guide: pip install pickleshare
