SQLlite is a great way to build small scale SQL databases.
However for this app I'd probably second the advice to use shelve.
Shelve acts like a dictionary in a file so you can associate a list of 
items with a user very very easily.

You can try the database topic in my tutorial(see below).
It's only available for Python v2 at present but the translation
to Python v3 (if that's what you are using) is trivial.
