Hi Matt,

What kind of data are you trying to represent?  And how large will that
data be?

The reason I ask is because I'm going to lead with the silly question:
would something like the "shelve" module be sufficent?

    http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-shelve.html

I'm just making sure we can cross 'shelve' off as not viable for the
application.  But knowing why 'shelve' would be unsuitable will be helpful
in figuring out a good solution.  *grin*
