It really depends on your requirements but PostgreSQL 
(http://www.postgresql.org/) is my preferred solution. MySQL 
(http://www.mysql.com/) is another popular choice.

You will almost certainly be accessing the database via the DB-API 
interface which is quite straightforward:

I don't have any good tutorial links, have you tried Google?

A full list of modules is available here:

I have personally used pyscopg and pyPgSQL (with PostgreSQL) and both 
work well. They are licensed differently which may influence your choice.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Matt
