Hi,
I want to store dictionaries on disk. I had a look at a few modules
like bsddb, shelve etc. However would it be possible for me to do the
following
hash[1] = [1, 2, 3] where the key is an int and not a string
bsddb requires that both the key,value are string.
shelve does support values being object but not the keys. Is there any
module which support keys which are not strings
Also how do i use disk based hashes for multidimensiona l hashes such as
below
#!/usr/bin/python
dict={}
dict['key1'] = {}
dict[('key1')][('key2')] = 'value'
key1=dict['key1']
print key1['key2']
I have read of mxBeeDict but was unable to get it work properly. I am
not sure if it supports what i need as i was unable to get any
documentation about it. Is the module used widely ?
Below is how i am using the module
bdict = BeeDict('/tmp/beedict')
bdict[1] = 1
print bdict.keys()
bdict.commit()
bdict.close()
bdict1 = BeeDict('/tmp/beedict')
print bdict1.keys()
print bdict1.values()
Would it be that using disk based dictionaries once opened are as fast
as in memory dictionaries ?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Shivram U

You may also want to take a look at ZODB (Zope database).
It handles the pickling, storage and retrieval of all
Python objects (including dictionaries) very well. And yes
you can use ZODB without using Zope proper. http://www.zope.org/Products/StandaloneZODB http://zope.org/Members/adytumsoluti...LoveZODB_PartI http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~harm/ZODB-Tutorial.py

I'd like to second this suggestion. While there are a few things you
need to be aware of when writing your code (mostly taken care of in
the latest release) it's a mostly trivial code change. (For me it was
replacing a few dictionaries with PersistentMap objects and changing
the base class of a few objects to Persistant from object.
FWIW, I'm using ZODB to help track EDI transactions for a help desk
application. Right now my database hovers in the 100MB range with
several ten of thousands of objects. I also use it for single object
temp storage, so I feel it works well from both the small and mid-size
scale. (It probably works fine for large projects as well, I just
don't have one right now...)

I need to do a search through about 50 million records, each of which
are less than 100 bytes wide. A database is actually too slow for
this, so I thought of optimising the data and putting it all in
memory.
There is a single key field, so a dictionary is an obvious choice for
a structure, since Python optimises these nicely.
But is there a better choice? Is it worth building some sort of tree?

Has anyone ever hashed a text file to disk before? I'm trying to

Of course, you could also use a database table for this. Together
