Honest question: how many applications are using in-memory lists that are large enough to warrant indexing but are also too small to put in a database?
That's probably why such a library doesn't exist. Sorting & search is good enough for one field. Full scans aren't that bad for small/medium datasets. And databases aren't that difficult to integrate into an application.
Also, pandas exists in the Python world.

Pandas is also very powerful, but everytime I go to use it I feel I have to learn the API all over again.
