Well if you like your MB and your current json/xml file solution but just want them tied together so they don't get disconnected you may want to consider just using a .zip to bind them. Uncompressed they can be very fast and you can access files directly (to query your metadata etc) without having to extract the zip with python. You'll just need a bit of code to enable opening/saving them back together.
