shelve ease of use and the fact it uses the disk to store objects makes it a
good choice if you have a lot of object, each with a unique string key (and a
tuple of strings can be converted to and from a string).
db = shelve.open("/tmp/foo.db")
db["key1"] = (1, 2, 3)
...
Marshal is faster and IIRC more geared toward network operations. But I haven't
used it that much ...
