Ken,
I would also recommend trying out databases, if you have an interest.
I found them a fun new aspect of using Python. I would recommend using
SQLite, which very conveniently comes with Python. Alan Gauld's
tutorial that you've read part of has a nice section on Working with Databases,
and it uses
SQLite as the example database management system.
Understanding a bit
about how to use SQL (the Structured Query Language that most databases
use, but which is surprisingly close to English) is also a good thing
to learn as you learn about programming generally. I thought it was going to
be harder than it turned out to be. It's not bad. Another good helper is
http://sqlzoo.net/. What you will want to "Google up on" once you are ready to
try to sort your database is "ORDER BY" in the context of SQLite.
Good luck,
Che
