Use SQLite, but spend an hour or so reading about PostgreSQL, so you
have some idea of what it can do. As your requirements grow, you'll
eventually outgrow SQLite, and the most obvious next step is Postgres;
you'll do well to at least have a nodding familiarity with it, so you
can decide when to move up.

Also, since you're asking for advice: I advise you to write good
subject lines on your posts. It'll make your questions easier to find.
:) Something like: "Selecting database for small Python app - looking
for recommendations".
