You'd better use a real database engine rather than a flat formatted file.
"Many to 1", "1 to many" or (better) "many to many" relations are very
difficult to handle in a flat text file. Even in XML, it's quite hard to
handle.

Start here to have some enlightenments on how to use databases from python:

http://www.python.org/sigs/db-sig/

But you should first focus on your database design/structure before diving
into the python code.
