shove Common object storage frontend. Common object storage frontend that supports dictionary-style access, object serialization and compression, and multiple storage and caching backends. Currently supported storage backends are: * Amazon S3 Web Service * Berkeley Source Database * Filesystem * Firebird * FTP * DBM * Durus * Memory * Microsoft SQL Server * MySQL * Oracle * PostgreSQL * SQLite * Subversion * Zope Object Database (ZODB) Currently supported caching backends are: * Filesystem * Firebird * memcached * Memory * Microsoft SQL Server * MySQL * Oracle * PostgreSQL * SQLite The simplest shove use case is: from shove import Shove store = Shove() which creates an in-memory store and cache. To use another backend for storage or caching, a configuration URI or an existing store or cache instance is passed to shove using the form: from shove import Shove <storename> = Shove(<store_uri>, <cache_uri>) The URI format for a backend is documented in its module. The URI form is the same as SQLAlchemy's: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/04/dbengine.html#dbengine_establishing shove implements the Python dictionary/mapping API: http://docs.python.org/lib/typesmapping.html L.
