sqlite is arguably the simplest relational database out there,
and it is integrated with Python 2.5+. Of course you need to
tell us if an embedded database if enough for your use case,
or if you want a client-server database, if you use Windows
or Unix, if you want graphical administration tools or not,
what your final goal is, and so on.
