Body
I am running python 3.1.4 from macports and I am attempting to use the shelve module here. I can use it successfully on another dev. machine (different OS, etc.) so I am not sure what I may be doing incorrectly... Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Here is the error "dbm.error: db type could not be determined" (I searched for the error message but found no info - I even tried to force the protocl=2 to see if that might help but it did not) Here's the interactive session: <pre><code>Python 3.1.4 (default, Oct 7 2011, 15:58:53) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin >>> import shelve >>> a = [1, 2, 3] >>> locker = shelve.open('myshelf',protocol=2) >>> locker['a'] = a >>> locker.close() >>> exit() Python 3.1.4 (default, Oct 7 2011, 15:58:53) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin >>> import shelve >>> locker = shelve.open('myshelf',protocol=2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/shelve.py", line 231, in open return DbfilenameShelf(filename, flag, protocol, writeback) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/shelve.py", line 215, in __init__ Shelf.__init__(self, dbm.open(filename, flag), protocol, writeback) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/dbm/__init__.py", line 84, in open raise error[0]("db type could not be determined") dbm.error: db type could not be determined </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
