Threading with Socket Server

[Boris FELD]

I'm not sure to understand what you want. Is it your server process
that will read the shelve file ? You may give more informations about
your problem, but i can give you some hints.

In order to create a TCP server, you can use SocketServer which is in
the builtin library
(http://docs.python.org/library/socketserver.html). I'm not sure about
how shelve manage concurrency, but in my opinion, you'll need to
create a single process or thread which manage read and write
operation in order to avoiding race conditions.

Cheers,
Feld Boris
