[mod_python] The python shelve

Hi there,


This is probably not the best place to ask this, but I'll give it a try.

Does anyone have experience with the shelve-object supplied with python. It's probably just what i need, but i need to know if it's efficient.


My questions is:

On 'd = shelve.open("filename")', will all the classes stored in the shelve be loaded into the memory ? This is namely not what I want. Only those classes I need should be loaded.


Any info on this ?
