DBM (I guess I should have explained this before) is a
nice simple database format developed at Berkely around
the days of 3/4BSD. It's a little less sophisticated 
than SQL, but you don't need any special software to
use it (it's built right into libc).

That would work. I guess I'll do it that way.

Python GUIs are generally engineered to use Tk.

The python browser is currently nonexistent, but I 
hope for it to get an editing option before too long.
