python-rwhoisd is a simple RWhois server (see RFC 2167 written in RFC 2167) written in python.

It uses in-memory data structures, and it intuits the schema - based on the data it sees. The server takes as input a schema file - which just describes which attributes should be indexed (and how), - and data files which are similar to the C rwhoisd's data files.
