Thanks for all the suggestions!
I realized a few minutes after I posted that a database would work.. I
just wasn't in that "mode" of thinking when I posted.
PyTables also looks very interesting, especially because apparently I
can read a file in the archive like a normal python file, ie one line

Use the file system. That's what it's for.
