There is also the case of using SQLite where it shares the same process as your Python code (and nothing else) and is a standard part of the Python library. You can add your own functions and collations and if using APSW then you can also go way further than a regular database and add virtual tables and virtual storage. SQLite generally outperforms database servers since there is no cross process or network communication until you get to larger workloads and/or concurrent database access which database servers are more tuned for.
