Hi again, Jim is correct in saying most objects. I did not think of sockets and such. I was thinking more of user defined code objects.

Hi James
Yes, you can shelve any object. But if you fetch it back in another module, the module doing the fetching must "know" what the object looks like. I am using the term object here to denote a class instance. Thus you must import the class first.

Hi,
The book I am reading talks about pickling and shelving dictionary objects. It says that other languages call this something else. It's a way to create a dictionary, write it to a file and get it back. Can you do the same thing 
with any object?

Thanks.

Jim
