What class do you use for the list?

I suspect root's class isn't too clever, but I can't remember...

Yes, in particular:

from BTrees.OOBTree import OOBTree
root[db_name]=OOBTree()
root[db_name]['something']=your_list

the btrees implementations are specially designed to minimise the kind 
of conflict errors you've been experiencing. They work just like python 
dictionaries...

cheers,
