My two cents.

I would strongly suggest against using Python and MySQL for such a
project. Python has a very large memory overhead compared to C/C++, and
a NIT doesn't have much memory to waste (I'd rather use the memory to
launch some extra program). MySQL is not easy to set up, and it's
simply much more than you generally need.

If you definitely need SQL, I would suggest the SQLite library, which
basically just stores a SQL database in a single file and does not
need any server process.

But I would even suggest against using SQL, if that's possible, because
parsing and interpreting SQL language involves unneeded overhead.
A thing such simple as a vector map could be easily stored in a plain
Berkley database.
