You just set the package requirement and you&apos;re done, it will work in the same environment wherever your app works, upgrades are a piece of cake, no need to worry about platform support, permissions, etc.&lt;p&gt;f.ex. Whoosh (full-text search) gained a lot of traction in the Python world not because it was the fastest at the time nor the most full-featured (compared to the more mature Java-based ones), but because of convenience. Such solutions, even when they&apos;re not the most advanced player in the league, are great for starting up fast and pushing features out the door.&lt;p&gt;On a side note, it&apos;s a pleasure for me to see it&apos;s from Poland. Will test it out on a feature project in the next few days.</text></comment>

I think that CodernityDB is meant to be embedded and is thus only interesting to python people. In that case the advantage would be to avoid the compilation step on intall that kyoto cabinet or sqlite would incur.&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s a library database like sqlite and kyoto cabinet</text></comment>
