Python includes a flat-file SQL database engine called Gadfly
that sounds like what you want. For more advance stuff
you can also use the internal an object database as does the
application server Zope.
Zope would be the ideal place for this kind of app because
you get a great accounts management engine on top of
a web server/ app server/ database with everything as an object!
