The suggestion to use sqllite is probably a good one to get started.
I'm a PostgreSQL fan and use pygresql. It has 2 modes: "Classic" and
"DBAPI 2.0".
The DPAPI 2.0 interface makes your SQL portable between RDBMs. But you
can't beat the classic interface for simplicity, elegance, and convenience.
With classic, just pass a dictionary and say insert this or update this
and its done. With selects, its easy to get your results as a dictionary.
