As I said before, it is doable, but I don't know if I will have time 
enough to implement this myself.

Well, one of the ideas that I'm toying long time ago is to provide the 
capability to Numexpr to work with PyTables disk-based objects.  That 
way, you would be able to evaluate potentially complex expressions by 
using data that is completely on-disk.  But this might be a completely 
different thing of what you are talking about.
