Reduce Python shelve size

Multi tool use
I'm using the
shelve module with gdbm to store Python objects. I understand that shelve
uses pickle
to store the objects. Unfortunately, the sizes of my shelves are too large. I found this solution to bzip2
or gzip
individual pickles. My question is: is there a way to make shelve
compress all its pickles?
python pickle shelve

@aws_apprentice the problem is that I would need to access shelve entries individually.

Shelf is a single file containing many pickled objects.
