Note that FourThought has some object database work that hasn't been
released yet.  Quoting from
http://www.fourthought.com/4Suite/index.html :

   4ODS is a Python front-end for the ODMG 2.0 object database standard.
   Different drivers can be plugged in to 4ODS to provide back-end
   storage, even in other models such as relational. 4ODS is particularly
   well-suited to providing structured persistence for XML documents and
   document fragments. 4ODS will soon be available to the public.

This might be a Python interface to ODMG 2.0, not a complete Python
binding for it, but you'd have to ask the FourThought guys to be sure.
