* Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situationsSkip Montanaro2002-12-081-0/+51
this can result in significantly smaller files. All classes as well as the open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to False for backward compatibility. Added a small test suite, updated the libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.
