yeah, one of the options is metakit ... sqlite and buzhug both looked
promising but the constraint of pythons 2.2 and 2.3 ruled that out.
disadvantage of metakit is that it's not pure python, meaning possible
integration problems.  the system has to be deployed at 200+ sites
worldwide on a mix of RHEL 3 and 4 based systems, with some Debian
clusters thrown in, and running real production ...

hence my desire to find a pure-python solution if at all possible.
it's looking grim.
