  Description     : flat file database, client-server architecture, with record search

KirbyBase is a pure-python database management system that stores its data in plain-text files. It can be used either embedded or in a multi-user, client/server mode. It's syntax is more pythonic than SQL. You can query the database using python's regular expression syntax, or even regular python expressions. To switch your program from using an embedded database to a client/server database, you only have to change one line of code. KirbyBase is

"disk based" as opposed to a "main memory" dbms. This means updates are immediately written to disk. KirbyBase is small, consisting of one 34K module that you import into your program.
