Dataset (https://dataset.readthedocs.org/) is a similar project that provides ad-hoc SQL querying of structured data - example usage:

  import dataset

  db = dataset.connect('sqlite:///:memory:')

  table = db['sometable']
  table.insert(dict(name='John Doe', age=37))
  table.insert(dict(name='Jane Doe', age=34, gender='female'))

  john = table.find_one(name='John Doe')

Dataset provides ad-hoc SQL querying of ... SQL databases.

It looks like a neat API, but it's not really similar to this project.

That's not ad hoc querying of a tabular text file.
