You already can - use a stub database to specify each remote database and
get Omega to open the stub databases by specifying multiple DB
parameters (or multiple databases in one DB parameter, separated by '/').

Or you can list multiple remote databases (or a mixture of local and
remote) in a single stub database if that's more useful.

The stub database is a text file whose format is documented here:

You should just be able to call reopen() on the Xapian.Database object
in your python script, but this doesn't appear to be implemented.  I'll
sort that out.
