Python 2.5 comes with SQLite built in. SQLite allows database
interaction without a corresponding server; all the code is in the
client, in this case provided in the Python standard library.

Previous versions of Python have standard library support for DBM
files, a non-relational, key-value system for storing data in local
files.

If you can set your PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to a
directory under your control, you can install Python packages and
modules in that directory.
