Sorry, replied just to 7150 by mistake. Chris, you may find this interesting for your dictionary activity.

I am trying to create a simple translation dictionary. Oh, I wasn't telling you not to use sqlite, just was answering Michael's question. If you really just want to store a flat file, then use a flat file. If you want to find words more efficiently, then you could use dbm or pysqlite. If you want to perform full text search, then you could use the fulltext search capabilities of sqlite, or xapian or create your own structures with dbm. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-sqlite3.html http://xapian.org/docs/bindings/python/ http://code.google.com/p/xappy/ http://docs.python.org/lib/module-dbm.html dbm and sqlite are definitely part of the platform (you can expect to find them in future releases). Xapian I'm not so sure, as it is currently used only by the DataStore and it is scheduled to be reviewed, thus exist some possibility that xapian stop being in the images. But even in that case, you could ship xapian inside your activity bundle if you really want to use it (or lucene, or other full text search engines).
