Skip Montanaro b3b22f3a29 flesh out open() docstring 2003-01-21 01:53:09 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 123dc8ef72 self.binary -> self._binary to remove it from the public interface -
suggestion by Raymond Hettinger.

Skip Montanaro 3bf99e3e87 Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations
this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

Raymond Hettinger 7994716b6b SF patch #520382: Expand shelve.py to have a full dictionary interface
and add a mixin to UserDict.py to make it easier to implement a full
dictionary interface.

Martin v. Löwis e4913c9987 Patch #624936: Implement __contains__. 2002-10-18 08:58:14 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 0de65807e6 bunch more __all__ lists
also modified check_all function to suppress all warnings since they aren't
relevant to what this test is doing (allows quiet checking of regsub, for
instance)

Guido van Rossum f62cf61548 Give in to tabnanny. 1998-04-06 14:14:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 65e5399081 Don't write "if self.dict: self.dict.close()"; just write
"self.dict.close()" and ignore the exception.  The "if self.dict:"
part would be calculated through len(self.dict.keys()), which is very
expensive for a large dictionary...

Guido van Rossum 6599fb0917 Make close(), and hence __del__(), robust in the light of the world
being destroyed already.

Guido van Rossum 914c938cc5 Use cPickle and cStringIO when available. 1997-06-06 21:12:45 +00:00
Roger E. Masse 4fc7067055 Added a 'sync' method to shelve. If the underlying database does not have a sync
attribute, this method silently ignores this fact.  The default (bsddb's dbhash) does.

Guido van Rossum a48061a580 shelve.py: database of persistent objects, on top of pickle.py and anydbm.py
pickle.py: new low-level persistency module (used to be called flatten)
dbmac.py: stupid dbm clone for the Mac
anydbm.py: generic dbm interface (should be extended to support gdbm)
