I would rather avoid having to use a relational database unless I have to. Perhaps the index pluggability could be made to support different backends (like FileStorage et al does).
Yeah, unfortunately, the difficult bit is combining queries: gimme the results where index1=='fish' and index2 is between 2 and 5kg.
if index1 is in SQL and index2 is in ZODB, for example, how would you go about efficiently combining results?
Is there not a set datatype in python that could be used? Admittedly,
