As usual, you get choices -- MetaKit for Python, for example
(http://www.equi4.com/metakit/python.html), and, of course,
all kinds of db files as well (most powerful of them the
Berkeley DB, whose Python-interfacing module is documented at
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-bsddb.html).

I suspect the standard Python 'shelve' module, documented at
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-shelve.html,
is what would make you happiest -- it's very simple and
makes you carry no 'extra baggage'.  (It lives on top of
some DB module or other, but that's just a detail).
