You could always switch to bsddb3, found at http://pybsddb.sourceforge.net/.
It gives you lots of improvments over bsddb, gdbm, etc. such as cursors,
locking, transactional commit/rollback, safe multi-thread or -process access
to the DB, etc. and all of these are also available when using its version
of shelve.
