I need spatial indexing/querying for paging large 3d worlds in and out  
 from disk. This means I have lots of generic python objects - each with a  
bounding as the "key" - in the spatial tree. Queries are: "Which objects  
are in the given query box?".

I think geohash provides mainly supports for point data so it does not  
suit bounding queries.

It seems postgis is a PostgresQL extension. This means I have to maintain  
a postgresql server just for the geo data. Method 3b) in my original  
posting seems to be less work and I have direct integration with the ZODB.
