Never! It's a proprietary secret!!

Actually, it was amazingly simple: I incorporated the open-

source library SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org/), and its Python

wrapper, pysqlite (http://initd.org/tracker/pysqlite). SQLite can

create in-memory databases that require no disk presence, meaning

that they are very fast and clean up after themselves when you drop

the connection. The only hard part I had to do was to manage the

conversion of the data from Python lists into the database, and vice-

versa with the results.
