I suggest that you take a look at a database abstraction
layer or ORM like
SQLAlchemy [1], that makes handling the data layer much
easier and also allows
you to map different data sources (e.g. file
system/database) onto the same
data object very easily.
For example, there is a recipe in the SQLObject docs [2] on
how to store images
in the filesystem but access them transparently via object
properties (aka
dynamic attributes). This recipe could be easily applied to
SQLAlchemy mapper
objects as well.
