+PickleShare is a small shelve-like datastore with concurrency support.
+
+Like shelve, a PickleShareDB object acts like a normal dictionary. Unlike
+shelve, many processes can access the database simultaneously. Changing a value
+in database is immediately visible to other processes accessing the same
+database.
+
+Concurrency is possible because the values are stored in separate files. Hence
+the "database" is a directory where all files are governed by PickleShare.
