sqlite is also a pretty lite database. Sits in a single file and the libraries ship with Python (> 2.6 I think? or maybe 2.5?). Serialization is always a neat option. With a hash table DB like berkeley or some such you can get a pretty speedy (albeit simple) persistence layer. Really depends on what your app needs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
