You may find the attached files of interest. I wrote this PyGame script
in order to teach my sons (ages 8 & 10) about some programming concepts.
I intentionally avoided any function or class definitions, and tried to
use minimal Python concepts.
I think it's quite impressive that you can do a

Since you want to learn to use python with a database you may want to
try it with SQLite. SQLite is a very easy to use database that stores
the whole database in one file. Working with it would be very similar
to working with Mysql through python.

Hmm, my hobbies...well, programming for one. :) Also literature and
anything computer-related. I suppose I could try to catalog some books.

What've you got for hobbies? As my first Python

and allowed me to add and delete records in a file

I don't have any dearth of Python needs ( I now, sort of pay my tuition
through Python :-) ). But I use it for fun as well, say gaming. For
example, I have scripts that send keystrokes based on voice commands or
other keystrokes.
Having a productive language like Python at your disposal can help

I would second the vote for pythonchallenge. It's what taught me
Python.
The amazing thing about the python challenge is by the time your done
with it, you've gotten through a very large and diverse sampling of the
python docs. It really gave me a good understanding of all the things

Try creating simple games using PyGame. Think of simple things like
minesweeper.

Now that I've learned much of Python, I'm sort of stuck with what to do
with it. I'm not a professional programmer, so I don't really have a use
for Python now. But I really want to come up with some neat uses for it
(for fun, and so I don't just start forgetting it right after I learned it).
