You do realise that shelve uses anydbm under the hood, making it susceptible to
the same problems with Windows (only broken DBM or dumbdbm available) that the
old version had - but with no obvious way of patching it up to allow customisation
by the user?

As I said, I use pickles now, so I no longer have a use case where Windows users
would be using DBM format anyway, but there probably should be at least a warning
in a comment somewhere...
