Use ZODB by Digital Creations.

There are introductions and tutorials available at:
http://www.python.org/workshops/2000-01/proceedings/papers/fulton/zodb3.html
http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/HowTos/ZODB-How-To
http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/zodb/

It is used in their appserver Zope, but can be used in any python 
application.

I know of databases using ZODB that are 10GB+
