If you want to know what I am currently working on (besides the Toolserver Framework For Python of course) you can follow the title link and browse the CVS repository of my newest project. Active Storage Framework for Python is a database that borrows conceptually from Userland Frontier and Mumps (yeah, I am an old fart and still know such stuff  ) in that it gives the programmer a hierarchical namespace for storage objects. It has many weird features and I think it's plain cool. But then I have to think that - I am writing it
The idea is to get a storage that's as far away from standard SQL as possible but using a relational database as data storage so I don't have to reinvent transaction handling, data security and all that stuff again. It uses currently PostgreSQL but should be easy to port over to other relational databases. It might become the database for something like PyDS/NG (there, I said it, I will do a rewrite of the Python Desktop Server one day - using Toolserver Framework For Python as the server engine and Active Storage Framework for Python as the database and whatever crosses my mind for template rendering).
If you want to know more about Active Storage Framework for Python you might want to start with the README. And yes, it should already work. All you need is a PostgreSQL database, the psycopg database driver and Active Storage Framework for Python of course.
