May I suggest (some dialect of) SQL?  It _is_ quite different from Python,
but learning it will familiarise you with some concepts that will be very
useful if you want to use your Python skillz in a data-driven application.
 It's true that you can use Python modules to interface with databases, and
maybe never write more than a line or two of real SQL - but those modules
are a lot easier to understand if you know what they're doing under the
hood.
