Well, depending on the complexity you need, you can use either
the standard "anydbm" module for simple, persistent key-value
string-to-string mappings; or you can use the "sqlite3" module
for a more full-fledged SQL experience with a local data-store.
If you need to step up to a shared database, you can investigate
the various MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. bindings that can be added to
Python.
You can read about both the "anydbm" and "sqlite3" modules (along
with example code) in the standard library reference docs.
