If you're just using the db for storage or adhoc and arbitrary
python objects (and not querying the stored values via SQL - eg
WHERE), then: make a column of type BLOB, convert Python values to
bytes using pickle, store. And of course the reverse.

It is not a great use of an RDB, but it seems to adhere to what you ask.
