You can also take a look at Karrigell (http://karrigell.sourceforge.net). You can write pure Python scripts or use a PHP-like syntax, and it is shipped with gadfly, an SQL engine, and with KirbyBase, a database engine which uses a Pythonic syntax. As for all the web frameworks, you can also work with the APIs available for almost any database under the sun
