You are right, unicode strings work in dictionaries. I
should have checked, sorry. However, they don't work in
shelves, as the attached script will demonstrate. You get a
type error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "fail.py", line 7, in ?
    x[a] = "arrrghhh"
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/shelve.py", line 130, in __setitem__
    self.dict[key] = f.getvalue()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/__init__.py", line
120, in __setitem__

TypeError: String or Integer object expected for key,
unicode found

I am using Python 2.3.3 on Linux
