The software is open-source and released under the MIT license, the code is available on Github: https://github.com/adewes/blitzdb The documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs: http://blitz-db.readthedocs.org The database ships with a native, file-based backend that has no external dependencies. In addition, it can be used as a wrapper around third-party database engines such as MongoDB. Some more features: * document-based, object-oriented interface * powerful and rich querying language comparable to MongoDB * deep document indexes on arbitrary fields * compressed storage of documents * support for multiple backends (e.g. file-based storage, MongoDB) * support for database transactions (currently only for the file-based backend) The current, fully functional release is on PyPi (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/blitzdb/0.1) and can be installed using e.g. pip or easy_install: pip install blitzdb #or easy_install blitzdb The main motivation for writing this was to create an embeddable, document-oriented database that I could use in my Python projects (e.g. command line tools) without having to worry about setting up and maintaining additional software or servers. The project is NOT intended as a fully-fledged replacement for MongoDB or other document databases. I would love to hear your feedback on this project and I'm actively looking for contributors, so feel free to get in touch with me (you can find my e-mail on Github).
