Ideally, I'd like to be able to search the data in these dicts.  Is 
there a way to do this? If not, PickleCol seems to be the way to go...

To Kent:

I am trying to store several different classes of objects into the 
database using SQLObject, some of which have dicts as attributes.  The 
classes may be extended and the dicts store variable amounts of entries. 
  I want this framework to be extensible as possible, but perhaps I am 
taking the wrong approach.  The object classes were designed with their 
manipulation in mind, in addition to simply database storage. Is there a 
better design you can suggest?
