I doubt that would help you much, as you'll have to write the query
processor too, which will probably quite hard. The only SQL parsers for
Python I know of are in Gadfly and Gordon McMillan's Metakit SQL layer.

You'd probably be better off by just putting your data into an RDBMS. If
it needs to be embedded, then PySQLite could be one option.
