SQLite stores the entire database in a single file. Does that answer the
question? I'm not sure I understand.

Preferably, check SQLite's own site <URL:http://www.sqlite.org/> for
answers, since it seems your concerns are not specific to Python. If you
have Python-specific concerns about SQLite you'll need to make them more
explicit for us to answer them.

As you noted, SQLite is already in the Python standard library.

Systems like Berkeley DB, SQLite, dBase, et cetera achieve their
simplicity at the expense of concurrent access to the database.

If you want concurrent access to the database by many connections,
that's where you need to look at a more sophisticated solution. For
efficient concurrent access, a DBMS such as PostgreSQL is the best
choice.
