True enough and Dabo is worth a look since it provides not only
a dbase format db engine but a good GUI builder tool too.

Why not use SQL?
SQLlite comes with Python, is small, easy to use and if necessary
can be used in-memory and as such fast.
Once you have decided to go down the database route then not
using SQL nowadays is a very odd decision. Its rather liike
going out looking for a car that has solid types instead of
pneumatics. Why would you want to?
