Q: shelve ovewrites for different users

[Jan Kybic]

Hello,
	I am using 'shelve' with Berkeley DB to store Numerical Python
arrays using a code like:

f=shelve.open('file.dat')
f['coefs']=zeros((10,20))
f.close()

for writing and

f=shelve.open('file.dat')
c=array(f['coefs'])
f.close()

for reading. I am sharing the shelve file between two users on Unix. My
problem is that when one writes it and the second one reads it, the
shelve file shrinks and does not contain anything any longer. Anybody
has seen this behaviour? Any hints? Thanks.

Jan
