Rather newbie question here.

My current project will build a database of solutions to a topology 
problem, which I'll eventually put (readonly) on my website.  The 
entries are text of varying length.  The keys are likewise of varying 
length.

Is anydbm the way to go?  Is shelve anything more than a wrapper for it?
Should I be looking at something else?
