Main feature I need is ability to save "state" of some data
structure,
say variables, array, or dictionary, without having to parse/reparse
when writing/reading from filesystem. Python can do that. I can do
that in C too. My last choice would be SQLite, though, it has its
advantages.

This is my reply to both Tim first.
Tim: My Recommendations would be to see if you can find an embedded
version of SQLite or another
library that meets your requirement.

BerkelyDB might be another option for storing an enbedded application's
non-volatile data.
BerkelyDB is now owned by Oracle, but I believe there is an open-source
version available) BerkelyDB could be more performant than SQLite and
also could have a smaller footprint. In complexity, BerkelyDB would fit
between SQLite and parsing the embedded app's non-volatile date out of a
file(s) in the barebones filesystem.
I myself an considering migrating a PostgreSQL database (used by a
PHP-based website app) to (an open source version of) BerkelyDB, because
of the BerkelyDB claim that it requires "zero administration". If true,
this "zero administration" feature sounds to me like a great fit for an
embedded app..
