title: portable non-relational database
body: <p>I want to experiment/play around with non-relational databases, it'd be best if the solution was:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>portable, meaning it doesn't require an installation. ideally just copy-pasting the directory to someplace would make it work. I don't mind if it requires editing some configuration files or running a configuration tool for first time usage.</li>
  <li>accessible from python</li>
  <li>works on both windows and linux</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What can you recommend for me?</p>
  
  <p>Essentially, I would like to be able to install this system on a shared linux server where I have little user privileges.</p>
