Method Details

Simple container around the built-in shelve module. This provides a simple and more-or-less efficient persistence system.

The ``abs_path`` is the absolute path of the shelve to open (and create if it does not exist).

The ``protocol`` is the protocol value used by the open() function of the shelve module.

If you plan to create your own container, they must implement the start and shutdown methods as-is.

Closes the shelve container when not needed anymore.
