I saw that, too. Things to watch for:

1) threadsafety
2) data integrity (transactions?)
3) data corruption?
4) impact of packing or similar (it does have a cleanup operation)
5) schema evolution (particularly important when you're talking about
a non-SQL database, since most SQL databases have "alter')

Databases like sqlite, MySQL, PostgreSQL and ZODB have had quite a lot
of testing in these regards. There's certainly room for interesting
new development, but I tend to be a little paranoid about how I store
my data.

Given the number of people using MyISAM tables, I know that #2 doesn't
matter to everyone.
