[Tutor] Which is better for flat dbs? Pickle or shelve?

Which is better for flat db's? Pickle or shelve?

Basically I will be writing a program that takes data and places it in a tab
deliminated text file which then can be loaded into excel for viewing if
needed.
Different data will be placed in different files.

Also. How can I secure this program so that when someone starts it it asks
for a password?

The user interface will be html forms.

Thanks.
SA
