We use sqlite (behind sqlobject) for a fair number of things at work --
http://labs.metacarta.com/rectifier/ , and our new user storage system
is using sqlite at the moment (with the intention of being migrated to
postgres later). So long as you don't need lots of concurrent writes,
I haven't seen any problem with it.
