# gimpshelf.py -- a simple module to help gimp modules written in Python
#                 store persistent data.
#
# Copyright (C) 1997, James Henstridge
#
# The gimp module provides a basic method for storing information that persists
# for a whole gimp session, but only allows for the storage of strings.  This
# is because other Python types usually have pointers to other Python objects,
# making it dificult to work out what to save.  This module gives an interface
# to the gimp module's primitive interface, which resembles the shelve module.

# use cPickle and cStringIO if available
