Thanks very much for the info! I'll give the 'localhost' a try again and 
see if I was creating problems elsewhere, perhaps with the commands 
themselves. (All I know for sure is that I created a MySQL database and 
filled it with baseball statistics, so I know *that* exists, at least! 
But it was created from the MySQL prompt itself, not using Python.)

I'll also read over those links, they seem like the kind of thing I need 
to really get going with it. :)
