I think you would be much better off with ZODB -
http://www.zope.org/Products/StandaloneZODB intead of "rolling your own"
object storage.

It may be overkill, but OTOH, threading, persistence and sharing  of
persistent objects are not entirely easy either. At least there are many
developers working with ZOPE so the chances are that bugs will eventually be
found. The known issues are documented.
