I'm not sure I'm understanding the question, but your application server can talk to the SQL server using python SQLAlchemy. If your web application is a python flask application, that process could be easy. I'm not sure what steps are needed to configure your MySQL server to be accessible

I don't really know what your question is or what you are trying to do, but I'll mention my immediate thoughts on what you wrote. Python is a very strong language and you can do A LOT with it. It is very popular in data science and for web applications via flask. It excels in writing abstracted

The command utility `pass` has something looking almost exactly like this. It's a password manager that's really more like a frontend wrapper for decrypting gpg files located in ~/.password-store . It's not a very complicated program, maybe check out the source code to see what they do.

SSD is more expensive but faster. M.2 SSDs even moreso. SSDs can have sectors go bad if you rewrite over the same spot multiple times. With SSDs, you should "trim" or clean up when files are deleted. Not 100% sure about SSDs, but data will start to corrupt over time on an HDD (scale ~2 years)

I think USB 3 --> SATA is much slower than connecting directly to the motherboard, but an SSD connected this way is still faster than a 7200rpm HDD. I would buy any internal (e.g. TeamGroup) 2.5" SSD and connect it sata to USB and then you basically have a regular flash drive but much bigger.

You should always license your code. You can always re-license it later (I don't think it only applies after a fork?). I promote GPL3 usually (copyleft). If I don't care about some company stealing and selling my code or perhaps someone using it for nefarious purposes, then I often recommend
