I've never tried using U1DB before, and the directions aren't very newbie-friendly. Is there a good tutorial that gives basic examples that show how it can be used?

See if this helps: packages.python.org/u1db – Mitch Aug 13 '12 at 7:00
I'm not very familiar with databases, and that page goes a little over my head. I basically just want to know what python commands I'll need in order to store data. – Ian N Aug 13 '12 at 13:49

There is an example application included in the u1db source code. Simply run bzr branch lp:u1db, and look at the code inside the cosas sub-directory. It is a simple todo app in Qt, built to show off how to do some of the basic things in u1db such as indexing documents, and syncing with a u1db server.

I don't see a u1todo directory in there – Ian N Aug 13 '12 at 21:39
Ah, sorry. It was renamed recently and I didn't have an updated tree on my system. It's the cosas directory now. I've updated the answer. – dobey Aug 13 '12 at 21:54
