If you only change the options from inside the program, you could just use a
simple database via "anydbm":

import anydbm

db = anydbm.open('c:/temp/dumbdbm_test', 'c')
db['egg'] = 'eggs'
db['spam'] = 'spammers'
db.close()

del(db)

db = dumbdbm.open('c:/temp/dumbdbm_test', 'r')
print db['egg']
print db['spam']
db.close()

>>>eggs
>>>spammers
