shelve
shelve是一额简单的数据存储方案,他只有一个函数就是open(),这个函数接收一个参数就是文件名,然后返回一个shelf对象,你可以用他来存储东西,就可以简单的把他当作一个字典,当你存储完毕的时候,就调用close函数来关闭
这个有一个潜在的小问题,如下:
[python] view plaincopy
>>> import shelve
>>> s = shelve.open('test.dat')
>>> s['x'] = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> s['x'].append('d')
>>> s['x']
['a', 'b', 'c']
存储的d到哪里去了呢?其实很简单,d没有写回,你把['a', 'b', 'c']存到了x,当你再次读取s['x']的时候,s['x']只是一个拷贝,而你没有将拷贝写回,所以当你再次读取s['x']的时候,它又从源中读取了一个拷贝,所以,你新修改的内容并不会出现在拷贝中,解决的办法就是,第一个是利用一个缓存的变量,如下所示
[python] view plaincopy
>>> temp = s['x']
>>> temp.append('d')
>>> s['x'] = temp
>>> s['x']
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
在python2.4中有了另外的方法,就是把open方法的writeback参数的值赋为True,这样的话,你open后所有的内容都将在cache中,当你close的时候,将全部一次性写到硬盘里面。如果数据量不是很大的时候,建议这么做。
下面是一个基于shelve的简单数据库的代码
[python] view plaincopy
#database.py
import sys, shelve
def store_person(db):
"""
Query user for data and store it in the shelf object
"""
pid = raw_input('Enter unique ID number: ')
person = {}
person['name'] = raw_input('Enter name: ')
person['age'] = raw_input('Enter age: ')
person['phone'] = raw_input('Enter phone number: ')
db[pid] = person
def lookup_person(db):
"""
Query user for ID and desired field, and fetch the corresponding data from
the shelf object
"""
pid = raw_input('Enter ID number: ')
field = raw_input('What would you like to know? (name, age, phone) ')
field = field.strip().lower()
print field.capitalize() + ':', \
db[pid][field]
def print_help():
print 'The available commons are: '
print 'store :Stores information about a person'
print 'lookup :Looks up a person from ID number'
print 'quit :Save changes and exit'
print '? rint this message'
def enter_command():
cmd = raw_input('Enter command (? for help): ')
cmd = cmd.strip().lower()
return cmd
def main():
database = shelve.open('database.dat')
try:
while True:
cmd = enter_command()
if cmd == 'store':
store_person(database)
elif cmd == 'lookup':
lookup_person(database)
elif cmd == '?':
print_help()
elif cmd == 'quit':
return
finally:
database.close()
if __name__ == '__main__': main()
