Is there something like mongodb/couchdb that does the sqlite philiosophy of an in-process database that's just saved out to a file?

I need to convert a python program to store some data in a database and I'd rather not deal with SQL.

LMDB : the key value store backing OpenLDAP. Stood out for me as one of the better choices when looking for something to manage SNOMED CT (a big medical code set).

Even better, it does have a Python binding
