i would like to add to my previous post that if an option like SQLite with a python interface (pysqlite) would be orders of magnitude faster than naive python options, i'd prefer that. but if that's not the case, a pure python solution without dependencies on other things would be the best option.
thanks for the suggestion, will look into gadfly in the meantime.
