About
toweldb is an extremely simple two-dimensional database library currently only available for Python. It has been designed for data integrity over performance by using a simple textual data storage format so that it can be easily repaired by hand if needed. It is primarily aimed at usages where a search delay is preferable to a broken database (i.e. package managers).
Status
Currently, toweldb 0.8.1 is available. It"s a proof-of-concept written in Python, and has more than a couple bugs. The pure-python approach has since been discontinued in favor of a library written in C, which is under heavy development and will be released as 0.9.
Rationale
Raw speed is, in most cases, not a concern for "real world" programs. As processor and disk performance rises, the usage of a binary database format begins to be of questionable value for most use cases. A binary format is also harder to debug, and c
