Out of curiosity, what kind of database-driven web site are you thinking
of building?

If you haven't seen this already, you may find "Phil and Alex's Guide to
Web Publishing" a useful (and amusing) web book to browse through:

    http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/

In particular:

    http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/databases-interfacing

talks about the basics of writing database-driven sites.  He uses a
programming language called Tcl/Tk to implement his site, but you can
translate that code to Python pretty easily.  And even with the book's
non-Python focus, it gives a lot of good ideas that you can use to help
build your site.


Good luck to you!
