"sequential database" -- can you give an example? If you mean Object Databases (viz., ZODB, Durus, DB4o) or key-value databases (viz., TokyoDB, Mongo, Couch), python has plenty of such native libraries/drivers. A specific problem you are trying to solve will yield better responses, IMO. Happy hacking, Pradeep
