You could store the start time using the time module.
when they're done with whatever you're timing,
get the current time again.
The difference between these two times is how long it took them to 
complete the task.
Decide on a database (oracle, postgre, mysql) and get the python library 
that lets you interface with your database and learn how to use it.
It's unclear what exactly a 'project' is from your e-mail so my reply is 
similarly vague, sorry.

HTH,
