Oops, I thought, bsddb3 is a replacement for bsddb, sorry.

I successfully tried:

Version 1)

from bsddb3 import dbshelve
fileInfos = dbshelve.open('PathNames')

instead of

import shelve
fileInfos = shelve.open('PathNames')


Version 2)

from bsddb3 import dbshelve
import shelve
fileInfos = shelve.BsdDbShelf(dbshelve.open('PathNames'))


For both versions the rest of my program remains as it has been.

Thanks a lot, Martin!

Kind regards
