LiteMap is a Python class which behaves like a dictionary, but persists to a table within a SQLite database.

The LiteMap will only map strings to other strings. If you would like to use more complex values then wrap this object in a shelve.Shelf. If you would like to use more complex keys and values then wrap this object in a SerialView.

Example:

from litemap import LiteMap
map = LiteMap('/path/to/db.sqlite', 'table_name')
# use map like a dictionary
