key/value store optimized for disk storage

I'd start with a benchmark and try some of the things that are already in the standard library:
- bsddb
- sqlite3 (table of key, value, index key)
- shelve (though I doubt this one)

You might find that for a little effort you get enough out of one of these.

Another module which is not in the standard library is hdf5/PyTables and in my experience very fast.
