Hi! Actually, regarding online databases. There exists RUM. http://python-rum.org/
Guess, who is co-lead developer of that package... Using an SA model, you can set up an online frontend to your database. For your application, the following feature's can help: - it is possible to feed it with simple queries - we provide not only html output, but also json or csv - it is quite easy to setup a policy, which restricts to read-only access for non-authorized users. - full CRUD functionality out of the box - it's easy to build such Queries from Python (guess why)... So you can store your data online and still doing at least some queries (actually, if you know some tricks about SA, then very much is possible). Of course, it requires some work and experiences to set setup a webapp. On the other hand, if there is interest, I can support that such a project, implementing additional features in RUM, needed for your application.
