python shelve on win vs unix

[Tor Erik Soenvisen]

Hi,

Have a problem using shelve on windows and unix. While my windows box 
supports dbhash, my unix box supports gdbm, and neither supports what the 
other does. The problem arises when I try to use the shelve generated in 
unix on my windows box.

Hoepfully there are alternatives to installing the berkeley db (needed by 
dbhash) on unix, which I'm looking at now. I'm no unix guru and would 
probably use "forever" to get it up and running.

Any suggestions for a quick and dirty solution (such as alternatives to 
shelve for persistent storage) to this problem would be appreciated.

regards, Tor Erik
