text storage: shelve vs anydbm vs ?

[Larry Bates]

If MySQL is available on your website it is both
fast and stable.  It is also very easy to call
from Python.  Lots of ISPs also have admin
interfaces that make it easy to make ad-hoc
changes via web interface.  Normally it is free.
If you are self hosted, the same is true.
