Zope can be used as a front end for many databases, but it include
within it the zdb, an object database written in python.

I suspect that Jeff is right about it being easy to do with Zope, but
that presupposes that you know a little Zope.  Back when I was playing
with Zope, it was kinda confusing to get started, but it is very
powerful and cool.
