<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm running a number of test cases and saving their
results in a shelve file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>A full run of the test cases takes about 36 hours.
During that time, if something interrupts the run (e.g., a power outage, which
has happened), I find that none of the completed test cases have been committed
to the shelve file even though, after each run, I make sure that the results are
written to the in-memory database (i.e., db = shelve.open(filename) at the
beginning of the test run; and db[key] = results after each test
case).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Is there a way to force the results for a single test
case to be written back to the shelve file? Other than opening/closing the
shelve after each test case run?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
