So, on that point, what Free Software non-overkill-database systems are
recommended by the SLUG coding crack troops?

If I want some fairly simple storage that handles locking, multiple
readers/writers, hopefully some forms of indexing, useful from
Python/Perl/PHP, but DON'T require a RDBMS (or faux-RDBMS with SQL querying,
MySQL fans)... What should I look into?

GDBM or Berkeley DB? (Oh, the pain!) Others?
