Thanks for the suggestion.
What I will do is the following:
1. Go to the BioSQL mailing list and ask what is their opinion (I
think not much will happen).
2. After the feedback I will try to figure a solution that is not
python 2.5 dependent (like yours), my main goals will be:
   a. No 2.5 dependence
   b. Should not be a big hassle to users (I would prefer not to
require installing a full blown database, that might scare off users
with less knowledge)
   c. Should be easy to develop and maintain
   d. Be sure that nobody in biopython-dev will have strong feelings against it

In any case, this is only relevant to HapMap stuff, which is probably
a couple of months down the road still, so there is plenty of time to
discuss...
