You might look at http://www.sqlalchemy.org/, since it works with most 
databases. However if you are new on databases, I think you should start 
learning databases basics, choose a database management system (DBMS) 
that fit your needs and learn as much as you can about that specific 
DBMS. Then you can use SQLAlchemy or specific packagas (MySQL-Python, 
PyGreSQL,...) to acces to that DBMS. In addition if you are going to use 
frameworks, most of them already have their own tools for DB manipulation.
