Two things:

1. It's not "withsql", it's "withsqlite", my bad.  WithSQLite is meant
   to be Python's Shelve module with an SQLite backend.  It's very
   simple to use in code::

       >>> import sqlite_db from withsqlite
       >>> with sqlite_db("filename") as db:
       >>>     db['aaa'] = {'test':'ok'}
       >>>     print db.items()

2. It works within Plinth, but I don't know how/whether it was planned
   for beyond Plinth.  That discussion should happen.  If you have time,
   please open a thread with your questions.  In Plinth, all the
   settings are saved to files in the plinth/data directory.  The
   documentation seems to be in the code:
