I havn't tried it but the newer versions of Berkeley DB can do in memory
databases.  Go to http://pybsddb.sourceforge.net/ to get the Python
wrappers, and check the docs for the DB.open method.

"""
In-memory databases never intended to be shared or preserved on disk may be
created by setting both the fileName and dbName arguments to None.
