I wrote a file format and parser for Python and Matlab that enables saving
structured data in a human readable file. I use it to store all kinds of
scientific data, but also for ini-like files for certain applications.
Implementations and more information can be obtained here:

It's not a database in the sense that you can query it, but it might be
enough for your needs; it can store named pieces of (unicode) text.
