""" PickleShare - a small 'shelve' like datastore with concurrency support

Like shelve, a PickleShareDB object acts like a normal dictionary. Unlike 
shelve, many processes can access the database simultaneously. Changing a 
value in database is immediately visible to other processes accessing the 
same database.

Concurrency is possible because the values are stored in separate files. Hence
the "database" is a directory where *all* files are governed by PickleShare.

Example usage::
    
    from pickleshare import *
    db = PickleShareDB('~/testpickleshare')
    db.clear()
    print "Should be empty:",db.items()
    db['hello'] = 15
    db['aku ankka'] = [1,2,313]
    db['paths/are/ok/key'] = [1,(5,46)]
    print db.keys()
    del db['aku ankka']

This module is certainly not ZODB, but can be used for low-load 
(non-mission-critical) situations where tiny code size trumps the 
advanced features of a "real" object database.
