Thanks for all the suggestions! I realized a few minutes after I posted that a database would work.. I just wasn't in that "mode" of thinking when I posted.
PyTables also looks very interesting, especially because apparently I can read a file in the archive like a normal python file, ie one line at a time. Could I do the same using SQL? I'm assuming I would get the whole file back when I did my SELECT statement. I guess I could chunk the file out and store it in multiple rows, but that sounds complicated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
