I like to use an external method. You can store the entire form data in a
single line in a file.  In fact, you can use a hidden field in a form to
declare what filename to use, so you can have the external method decide
what filename to use for which form.

It doesn't take much python code to accomplish this.  Later you can process
the file to get the data into a database, if you ever decide to do that.
