MySQL is an excellent option is very well documented. It is also a defacto standard for OpenSource databases.
You will need to install the Python module MySQLdb. --> http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python There should be plenty of examples online too for using MySQLdb with Python. If you get more advanced, you can look into the SQLObject module which allows you to use databases in a more Pythonic objective way.
