Thanks for that. I've used PgSQL from C++ (using libpqxx), PHP, Pike,
and the command line, but not from Python. (Yeah, a lot of Ps in
that.)

Once you start looking to write actual code, Python will be an
excellent choice. But master the basics of
database/schema/table/column, primary keys, etc, etc, etc, first.
