dictabase

A dictionary, but also a "database".

Usage

Starting the server

[user@host]$ python dictabase.py

Using the dict that isn't a dict (and also not recommended to any sane person):

Here's a short example of how you would load the top level item called players from the "databas". Everything stored in the database is virtually a dictionary, and choosing a top level item from it is required.

from dictabase import dictabase as dict

# Loads the "players" first level from the stash
players = dict("players") 
players["New Player"]["url"] = "http://homepage/avatar.png"

print(players)

If it isn't obvious, overriding dict is a pretty stupid idea. You should also consider something like MongoDB which is pretty stable and reliable. It also returns dict-ish types of results.
