If your requirements are very small you could use SQLite (which is built-in Python). I believe Paul uses SQLite in a commercial product he sells. But if you are thinking multi-user then currently you have Postgres, MySQL, FireBird, and maybe MsSQL (not sure if it's currently working) to choose from. My 0.02 go with Postgres!
