Some small questions

[DreamingInsanity]

As for the database, personally I would set up a MySQL database and then use the sqlite3 module to work with the database.

No, the sqlite3 module is for interacting with SQLite databases. Each SQL database has its own library that implements the DB-API. MySQL's can be found here for example.

Ahh ok. I haven't actually used them before so I didn't realise. I had a feeling that may have been the case. Either way good to know!
